Sunday Gatherings and Inclement Weather
We do not plan to cancel Sunday services because of inclement weather. We feel the church staff and leadership will be able to travel to the CrossWay building under almost any circumstances. However, there may be rare occasions when Sunday gatherings must be canceled. In these cases, we will leave a message on the church voice mail system, the website, and we will notify TV station WMUR Channel 9. Unless you hear otherwise via these avenues, we will be gathering for worship.
