With a bit of an ice issue this past Sunday, and plenty more winter ahead of us . . . you may be wondering what to do on a Sunday morning if it snows.

WHEN DO WE DECIDE?

Because we are a “set up and tear-down” church, we need to make the call by 6AM as the set up process begins at 6:30AM, with volunteers arriving all morning for various roles. Occasionally, this will lead to a bad call. We might cancel church, only to see things turn out just fine (It happened once). We might choose not to cancel church, but wish we had by the time everything is set up and ready to go. Please be patient and understanding as we make such decisions very early on Sunday morning.

WHERE DO WE ANNOUNCE INFORMATION?

If there is a definite cancellation, you will find a blog posted here, a status update on Facebook, and a topic on the City’s main group that everyone who has a City account is in. All of this will be posted by 6:30AM. You should also see it scrolling on the bottom of local TV stations.

HOW DO WE DECIDE?

Terra Nova is a regional church with people attending from three states and a 45 minute circle around Troy. We base our decision on the weather in Troy. It might be fine where you are, or it might be a mess where you are. If you can’t make it, that’s OK. Stay home, read your bible, pray with your family, make snow angels.

WHAT DO I DO IF I’M SERVING AND I CAN’T MAKE IT TO CHURCH?

Every team at Terra Nova has a team leader and that person is more than willing to provide you with his or her cell number. That is the person to call on Sunday morning. Double check now that you have the phone numbers you need so you aren’t scrambling on Sunday morning. Please do not send an email, or leave a message on the church voice-mail as we probably won’t get it in time.

Most of all, please be patient and understanding on Sundays with bad weather.
