Watch for this banner on the church home page www.fccholden.org
or on the Nursery School webpage (if applicable) for cancellation information

Nursery School
If the Wachusett Regional School District is closed due to weather so is the Nursery School.  If Wachusett has; a one-hour delay - Nursery School opens at 9:30am, a two-hour delay - Nursery School is closed all day (morning and afternoon classes are cancelled.)  As always, please use your best judgement and be safe!

Weekly Church Activities and Special Church Functions
In many cases we will post on the website or answering machine cancellations for weekly church activities and special church functions.  Please check with your group's coordinator if you are in doubt.  As always, please use your best judgement and be safe!

Non-Church Functions (other groups that use the building)
Please check with your group's coordinator or leader.  We cannot keep up with every group that uses the church building nor can we be responsible for making snow cancellation decisions for these groups.  As always, please use your best judgement and be safe!

Sunday Worship

Except in extreme situations, we will always gather for Sunday Worship regardless of the weather. In bad winter weather we may, however, cancel normal Sunday programs (Sunday School, Choir, Worship Band, etc.) and have a simple service in the chapel with whoever shows up.  Specific information will be posted on the website www.fccholden.org and on the church answering machine 508-829-5411 by 7:45am Sunday morning.

No one should feel obligated to drive in weather they feel unsafe in. Please
do not come out to church if you feel unsafe driving no matter what your obligation may be that Sunday.  We will miss you, but we will make do without you, and would rather see you safe and sound the following week.  You can always catch last weeks service again on TV (10:00am on cable channel 11 in Holden) and/or spend a little extra quiet time with God at home.
