Snow in the Pacific Northwest

 



The Trouble with Snow!

 

The first snowstorm this winter hit SW Washington in a big way, causing transportation to come to a grinding halt.  Central Western Washington was next.  This past weekend the Northern parts of Western Washington had their turn with the snow.

 Beautiful as it is and as much as our kids are delighted, it has an unfortunate impact on our churches.  For many of us, it means lower Mass attendance and lower collections.  Please consider putting a blurb in your bulletin along the following lines:

• Our total collections were down ___% due to weather.  The collection was $_____ less than an average weekend.  If you stayed safe and snug in your house during the snow and missed adding your donation to our collection, it’s not too late.  We still need your help. Unfortunately, the snow didn’t stop any of our expenses.  Please send in your ‘Snow’ Sunday envelope or put it in the collection this weekend along with your regular donation.  Special thanks to all those who have already made up for the Snow Sunday!  

Parishes, if you have any ideas to share with us about coping with ‘Snow’ Sundays, please contact us at parishstewardship@seattlearch.org.
