Bishop White encourages congregations to stay safe in storm

Dear People of God in Southern Ohio, 

Nearly all of our communities of faith will be affected by impending winter storms late this weekend and early into next week. 

As your bishop, I encourage our local leadership to make wise decisions for the health and safety of your congregations. With snow and sleet anticipated starting Sunday afternoon and temperatures dropping throughout the week, this first storm may be one of the most hazardous of the season.

I’ve asked our diocesan staff to plan to work from home on Monday. All are available by email and most by phone. 

Stay warm and stay safe, friends! It’s an honor to do this ministry with you. 

Yours in Christ, 

The Rt. Rev. Kristin Uffelman White
Bishop, The Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio
