Winter is here! Here are a couple of helpful hints regarding the building and parking areas:

• We have buckets of ice melt available at the doors, and sand in the parking lot. Staff and volunteers do what they can to keep up with the ice and snow, but as you know, snow can melt and refreeze. If you come in and see a patch of ice, please feel free to use the ice melt or sand. Just toss a little on the ice patch. Together we can help keep our sidewalks and parking lot safe.
• The parking lot across the street from the front entrance to the church (Whitby road side) is not church property. We have permission from Brandywine School district to use it, but we do not maintain it. If the custodial staff has time before church we will try to toss some sand or salt out there, but since we have a large parking lot and sidewalk area to manage, it is usually our last priority. Please use caution. 
• If we have inclement weather on a Sunday, the minister leading the service makes the decision to cancel. You can call the church office or check Facebook for information. We will also post on WDEL Snow Watch.
• On weekdays, the Business Manager decides to close the office and building. If you are leading a meeting here, and decide to cancel, please call the church office to let us know. If we close we try to contact all group leaders scheduled to meet. We ask that leaders contact their group members to inform them of the cancellation.
