Donations for Fire at Lake of the Woods Apartments

Posted on by

Thank you to everyone who supported the project!  We finished taking donations and are now working with the Red Cross to contact and share what came in with those impacted by the fire.  

The Holland Free Methodist Church is working in cooperation with the local Red Cross, area churches, Springfield Local Schools, and local businesses to support those affected by the recent fire at Lake of the Woods Apartments.

Donation Information:

  1. Holland Free Methodist will be receiving donations on Wednesday, March 27, and Thursday, March 28, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
  2. Clothing, hygiene items, and smaller household items can be brought to the church during the designated hours. (All clothing will be passed on to the local Goodwill. The Red Cross will provide vouchers for the Goodwill to individuals effected by the fire in proportion to the amount of clothing donated through this drive.)
  3. It is recommended that monetary donations be made online with the American Red Cross.
  4. Donations for the Springfield Fire Department’s Harry S. Patton Scholarship fund can also be made during drop-off times.
  5. Any donations that cannot be used to help those immediately effected by the fire will be shared with others in need throughout the community.

We are proud to be part of such a great community! Thank you to everyone for helping out.

Winter Weather Procedure

Posted on by

If there is severe winter weather in the area on a Sunday morning, the church will remain open unless there is a level three snow emergency and the roads have been closed.  However:

  1. If you have a responsibility at the church, and you feel unsafe traveling due to the weather, do not risk coming out.  Those who are here will manage without you.  We do not want anyone taking unnecessary risks to be here.
  2. If there has been recent heavy snowfall or ice, it is possible that the parking lot may not yet be fully cleared. Be mindful of this if you have difficulty on snow or ice.  We will do all that we can to make sure the lot is plowed and salted as quickly as possible.

If there is severe winter weather in the area on a Wednesday, the church programs will generally follow what Springfield Schools are doing for that day.  If Springfield Schools have closed, then services at the church will likely be canceled that evening.  If the weather is okay in the morning, but turns bad later in the day, forcing the cancelation of services, we will attempt to spread the word through the contacts available in the Kidcheck program.

Thank you!
