Welcome to New England! It is that time of year again that it could be cold or it could be very warm out at any given time. While we try to maintain the temperature(s) according to the weather and activities for all, the thermostats are set for the season but it could be too cold, too warm or just right for some. If you a person who tends to get cold or warm quickly we would suggest that when attending service or church activities, please bring a sweater or a jacket if you tend to get cold easily or dress in layers if you get tend to get warm easily. Please do not turn up or down the thermostats if possible, it would be greatly appreciated.
