I cherish our time together \u2013 even moreso \u2013 on any Sunday when the world brings its struggles and pains to our doorsteps, and floods our screens and newsfeeds with terror, and for so many of us, pierces to the very center of our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, as you\u2019ve likely seen, our area is forecasted to see heavy snow overnight on Saturday, continuing all through the day Sunday. In the interest of safety, we are making the decision now to prepare for a snow cancellation. <strong>There will be no in-person service this weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the one benefit of a large storm like this is that \u2013 unlike last weekend \u2013 we <em>are<\/em> able to prepare in advance. I was so grateful to see that last Sunday, our Ministerial Intern Yvette McDonnell recorded a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tqkstmZaZG4\">wonderful message<\/a> from home, all on her own, when we had to cancel for weather on short notice. Because we have more time now, I\u2019m pleased to share the news that we\u2019ll be adding a bit more to your at-home worship experience \u2013 some extra spiritual support for everyone who is disappointed that we can\u2019t be together, this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So <strong>please join us on Sunday, January 25<sup>th<\/sup> at 10am for a YouTube-only service<\/strong> with music, a live chat, and lovingly prepared words and messages from your worship leader, the Trandahl family (announcements!), and from me. If you join us during the 10am hour, you\u2019ll be able to sign in to the \u201cLive Chat\u201d that runs alongside the video premiere, and talk with me, and with your fellow congregants, while you worship from the comfort of home. Even if you miss the morning stream, you can still watch the recording later in the day, just as you can with any of our past Sunday services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please stay safe and warm this weekend, and may we continue to trust in the beauty and the power of community. We create this congregation together through our efforts, time, care, and love \u2013 and nothing\u2026 not even a few feet of snow\u2026 can take that away from us. &lt;3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take care,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"117\" height=\"62\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellspringsuu.org\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Lee-Signature.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5019\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rev.
