Bishops,
As we had yesterday, we occasionally have extreme weather that can affect meetings. More often than not, the decision is yours as a bishopric / branch presidency as to whether you feel to modify your meeting schedule inasmuch as the weather conditions can sometimes be different even within our stake. Yesterday, for instance, Sandy had a measurable snow fall and Boring had mostly rain. A few feet in elevation made a significant difference!
We appreciate you letting the stake presidency and other wards in your building know when you decide to make changes to your meetings so we can help communicate your decision.
There are occasions, when there’s widespread ice as we had in mid-December, when the stake presidency will intervene and attempt to coordinate everyone’s meeting schedules so we can alert members as early as possible.
As a reminder, below is a statement we issued to all stake members one year ago on what to expect and how to respond when there is a question about whether services are being held, postponed or cancelled. Feel free to use or draw from this document if you think it might be helpful for your ward members.
Thank you for not being too quick to cancel all meetings without consulting with the stake presidency.
Gratefully,
President Lewis
