INCLEMENT WEATHER PLAN
In-Person Activities Cancelled/Campus Closed
After much prayer and consideration for the safety of our church family, the staff and leadership have made a decision concerning church services tomorrow. Based on the current forecast of impending winter weather and the timing of the event, we have decided to cancel all “in-person” services for tomorrow, January 16th. This includes all afternoon and evening scheduled programs as well.
Let's Get Cozy... Worship Online
Grab your coffee or hot cocoa, gather 'round your TV, tablet, phone, or computer, and worship using our online tools right from your cozy living room. Pastor Steve will be sharing his message ONLINE beginning at 9:30 am and Mrs. Michelle will be doing Kids Worship ONLINE at 11:00 am. You will receive an email tomorrow morning with links to all the resources available for online worship. Be sure to tune in and take part. This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
Stay safe & warm church family!

Ever wanted to be in a choir?
Love to sing?
Want to get back to choir-normal?
Then come join me each Sunday, starting on January 23rd @ 5:00 pm. Please note the date change due to inclement weather on the 16th.
It takes people, practice, sacrifice, and a desire to lift up the name of Jesus!
Without a single one of those absolutes, it's impossible to have a church choir.
Pray & Consider… then come ready to sing!
In Christ Alone,
John Forman

SERVE OPPORTUNITY- GREETERS NEEDED
Don’t you feel more at ease when there's someone readily available to help when you go into a new place? Sure you do! Well, there is no better place to make people feel welcome than at church.
Making a great first impression is something we need to make sure we do well. With the change in schedule coming up and with the steady flow of new people visiting Piney Grove, we really need several additional people in the Welcome Center and at the doors greeting, and welcoming everyone. We also need folks to guide guests looking for things like where to check-in their children or youth, where to go for worship, where restrooms are located, etc.
We need your help and will provide you with all the training you need. I just need to get a list of folks who are friendly and would be willing to volunteer on a regular basis in the Welcome Center as a greeter. Please sign up here (create a link to sign up). I look forward to serving alongside you in this very important ministry. ~Pastor Mike
