SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTThursday, February 18, 2021 Dear Peace Lutheran Church, It’s been a rough week for all of us managing the winter freeze. I hope you have been able to stay warm and keep power and supplies throughout the cold spell. The church facilities suffered a massive water break on Tuesday. Even though our facilities were winterized, our fire emergency sprinkler system broke several sprinkler heads. We think pressure built up in the line due to freezing temperatures and the several spouts could not withstand the pressure. This resulted in several hours of water pouring from the ceiling. Most of the ground was covered in water. The next morning the water line was shut off and furniture moved to avoid further damage. We have contracted with a professional cleaning crew, Serve Pro, that deals with these issues. This, however, is likely to be a major insurance claim looking to replace floors and sheet rock damaged in the flooding. Our insurance agency has been called out to assess the damage, and our Property Team will continue to address the repair process. Because our sanctuary was flooded, we need to test and make sure our equipment is working. Therefore, as we undergo these repairs, our short-term plan is to worship with St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Canyon Lake. Just as they partnered with us in the beginning of the outbreak utilizing our sacred space, they have shown similar hospitality to open their doors and help us in our time of need. It is good to have wonderful neighbors to lift you up when you’re hurting. We will address future plans, but for at least this Sunday, February 21, I encourage you to worship together using this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOd8hIF35iA&feature=youtu.be. Note: St. Andrew and Peace worship begins at 10am. There will be no parking lot worship at Peace, but St. Andrew has a parking lot worship at 1pm if you’d like to join. 7420 FM2673, Canyon Lake, TX 78133 More information will come next week as we assess damage and plans for renovations. Peace to you all, Pastor Jake For more infomation visit:
