Announcements
St. John Lutheran Church Winter Weather Policy:
The safety and well-being of our members and staff is a primary concern so in the event of bad weather during the winter there may be times when the church will be closed, meetings cancelled, or worship services cancelled.
 
During the winter months, cancellations and closures may be the result of weather conditions, staff unable to get to the church, impassable roads, problems with the building, or other unforeseen situations.
 
Winter weather conditions may necessitate cancelling services based on street conditions, sidewalk, and parking conditions, and City of Russell plowing schedules. St. John Lutheran Church services and activities will be cancelled in the following situations:
  • we are experiencing subzero temperatures or windchill,
  • we have six or more inches of accumulated or new snowfall,
  • we are experiencing an ice storm,
  • we are experiencing a power outage,
  • during week days we will follow the City of Russell/Russell Schools closure
  • in rare event that local or state government declares “a state of emergency”
 
If the church is closed or worship is cancelled this information will be posted on the KRSL website and if possible, signs posted on the church doors.
 
If services are not cancelled, members are encouraged to use their best judgement in terms of safety for driving to services. If you have concerns about your safety for any reason, please do not drive.
 
If services are not cancelled, our 8:15 am and 10:30 am Sunday services are livestreamed on stjohnrussell.com. On the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month, the 10:30 am service is broadcast on KRSL 98.1 FM/990 AM.
 
Service cancellations will be posted on KRSL.com under “Weather - Closings and Cancellations” and on the St. John Lutheran Church, Russell, KS (stjohnrussellks) Facebook (Meta) page.
