LAST WEEK -- STORM UPDATE

Last week's storm closure was a good test of our emergency notification system.


We updated the website homepage to show that the chapel was closed AND we sent out a News Flash about the closure.


A text update was also sent to those who had NOT opened the News Flash AND for whom Ruth had numbers. . . and it was a good thing as it turns out the News Flash landed in the SPAM folders of several folks.


So ... a couple of suggestions:


  1. If you are one of the folks whose News Flash went to SPAM, PLEASE contact Ruth Henry at 901.218.4234 so we can work to ensure they get to your inbox in the future.

  2. For any future potential weather related closure, CHECK THE WEBSITE before heading to chapel.

  3. There is no guarantee that we will use the TEXT notification option in the future, but if you want to be included in case we do, make sure Ruth has your number! (Ruth can be reached at 901.218.4234 or qilautheartsong@gmail.com)
