As some of you may have heard, the Katy Independent School District has closed all of its facilities through the weekend.  That means that just like last weekend we are unable to worship at Taylor high school this coming Sunday.  The good news, however, is that because the Katy area is on its way to recovering from Hurricane Ike, we were able to make other arrangements for worship.  Cornerstone EPC has graciously offered to allow us to use their gym building for worship Sunday morning.  While this is not our usual setup for worship, it does place us in a better position than the other Katy churches that use KISD facilities on a regular basis.

We will have to make several changes to our ordinary Sunday morning program as a result.  The most significant and immediate change is that our morning worship service will begin at 10 AM on Sunday.  This will allow us to be prepared for worship, and allow us to station some people at Taylor in case visitors show up.  There are a few other changes that you should be aware of:

• There will be no Sunday school. Teachers should not bring their materials, and everyone should be aware that there will only be a worship service.

• We will be permitted to stay and have some fellowship, but because Global Mission Church has an early afternoon service and in order to reduce the logistics around setup, there will be no “snack time.” The service will end before 11:30 AM, so families can plan accordingly.

• Parking at Cornerstone is limited. Because our service and Cornerstone’s service will be at roughly the same time, we need to make sure that we leave sufficient parking for Cornerstone. I would ask that if possible: (1) families drive over in one car, and (2) families park either on the street (Park York) or over by the gym. Please do not park close to our office or the front building.

• We will not be using hymnals, nor will the ensemble be playing. Copies of the hymns have been included in the bulletin. As always, you can get a copy of the bulletin from our website.

• There will be a Sunday evening service. It will be at 6 PM as usual. We are canceling, however, the supper that was planned. Because we were not able to have worship last Sunday, I will be continuing my series on “Sins That Entangle” with a sermon on “Misplaced Love - Worldliness.”

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office and speak to either John or myself.
