As we now go into the 2^nd blizzard with 20 inches expected, one thing is for sure, our children will never forget the blizzards of 2010. This may not happen for another century and we and our children were there.  It is in God’s hands, we do not control the weather.  It is our will, the Lord willing to be ready to go Sunday. You may find snow stacked over 20 feet high but we will do our best to be prepared. I do not ever recall missing two Sundays in a row due to snow but it is now history.

Speaking of history, I have begun writing my 2^nd book on the history of the church. I t will entail the years 2000-2010. I hope to have it ready for the church by Christmas 2010.

Tune in tomorrow to see if church is canceled due to the snow that is coming down now.

While putting up an entertainment center, both Jerry and Dianne were injured.  Jerry cut his leg and Dianne broke her leg along with other minor injuries.  The Myers are out of the hospital and home but are in a lot of pain.  Please keep them in your prayers.

Snow is in the forecast as you know!  If the snow causes us to cancel the 9:3o service on Sunday, we will be having the 11:00 service with no Sunday School.  So, plan on coming if you are able!  We will worship all together and have a wonderful time with our Lord!

On Sunday, our Youth Pastor Prospect, Tyler Holder, was going to spend time with us.  Due to the amount of snow we are expecting, we plan to postpone this for several weeks.  Stay tuned to your bulletins, the website and this blog to find out when Tyler and his wife will be joining us.

As always, to find out about any cancellations during the week or weekend, you can contact our cancellation line by calling 410-833-7220 and following the automated system, or by going to our website, www.NorthwestBaptistMD.org.  All cancellations will be posted as soon as the decision is made.

Enjoy the snow!!
