3 W W P Again this year, the church office/staff, Child Care and the Tutoring Program will follow the York City Schools Cancellation Policy (Monday thru Friday). If the York City Schools have a delay, cancellation or early dismissal due to snow/bad weather, then the office/staff, child care and tutoring will do the same. On snow/bad weather days, the property department will be at the church to supervise the snow removal contractor and to do sidewalk clearing/salt application. Any evening services/ activities that are on the calendar when a snow/bad weather day occurs, could possibly be cancelled or delayed. Always check with the pastor/group leader/chairperson/choir director/ property dept./church office or any contact person before coming to the church on a snow/bad weather day. For Sunday services, after assessing the Saturday weather conditions, Pastor Wa will determine if the church services are cancelled or delayed. This information will be relayed to WGAL 8 for display on the WGAL 8 website (WGAL.com). This information will also be posted on the church website and the church Facebook page.
