Greetings Redeemer Family,
As Mike just announced, the leadership has decided to cancel services for tomorrow. Like many of you, I am disappointed to miss our time of worship together.

Beloved,
As much as I love the snow, I dislike missing our corporate worship together! Nonetheless, we need to cancel our services tomorrow in light of the predicted accumulations. Remember, he makes our sins as white as snow. Praise Jesus for his unfailing grace.

Dear Minuteman,
The correspondent who was reporting for his news outlet has seen many disasters. But he wrote, “What I have seen here, I have never seen before.”
