Wilshire will hold a fire drill on Sunday, Aug. 10, at about 10:30 a.m. Sunday School will start at 9:45 as usual, and the drill should be done before worship starts at 11.
Risk Management Committee chair Phil McNicholas says the committee’s intent is to have regular fire drills to ensure preparedness in case of a fire. “The main responsibility of the Risk Management Committee,” Phil said, “is to help mitigate our church’s risks, and one important risk mitigation practice is having regular fire drills.”
Each Sunday School room should have a sign on the wall indicating the nearest exit. When the drill starts, look for the nearest exit sign and leave the building using the stairwells. Elevators will not be used. Each Sunday School class should designate a drill leader to advise the class on its identified evacuation route, and staff and volunteers will be located around the building to help guide you toward the proper assembly areas outside. Those with mobility issues are not required to participate.
Preschoolers and children will be supervised by their Sunday School teachers and will return to their classes once the drill is over for usual Sunday School pickup. The drill should take about 15 minutes. In case of rain, the drill will be postponed.
Also Aug. 10: Bluegrass worship
You won’t want to miss 11 a.m. worship on Sunday, Aug. 10. The music in the service will be bluegrass themed, with a band, a song from Micheal Sheaffer and Elle Sheaffer, favorite hymns and more. It will also be a “drop-in choir” Sunday, one of a few in August. More details are coming soon.
