The guidelines below cover our policies for cancellations and delays on days when the weather could affect our services and activities.
- When the Christina School District closes, or opens late, our campus will be closed until our parking lots, walks, and entrances are snow and ice free, and the roads are cleared and safe. Check the Church website or contact your group leader for confirmation.
- When the state of Delaware declares a state of emergency and issues a travel ban for New Castle County, our campus will be closed while the travel emergency is in place, and until our parking lots, walks, and entrances are snow and ice free. Check the Church website or contact your group leader for confirmation.
- If weather conditions suggest that it may be unsafe to allow Sunday worship service, a joint decision will be made by the Pastor and Clerk of Session to send an email notification on Saturday to members warning of a potential cancellation. This notice will appear also on the front page of the church’s website and Facebook page.
- The final decision on cancellation of Sunday worship service would be made on Sunday morning prior to 7 am by two local members of Session. If the decision is to close for that Sunday, an email will be sent to members and also will appear on the front page of the church’s website and Facebook page.
Please be sure to check your email, and check the website, www.firstpresnewark.org and Facebook page for updates. Questions? – contact the church office, or your group leader.
