FUMC Allen Inclement Weather Policy
In anticipation of winter weather, FUMC Allen has established closing procedures in the event of dangerous conditions due to snow or ice. On weekdays during the public school year, FUMC Allen follows the closing decisions of the Allen ISD. Under most circumstances, a decision to close or delay school due to bad weather is made by 6:00am or earlier, according to the Allen ISD's inclement weather policy.
If schools are closed, the church is closed and all daytime activities are cancelled. The closing announcement will first be posted on the FUMC Allen website at www.fumcallen.org and on our church's Facebook page. WFAA (Channel 8) television will be notified. However, because of the delay in posting is often delayed, our web site will be the fastest source of information.If school openings are delayed, we will delay opening the church and Children's Creative Playday Preschool. During the evenings, weekend, and times school is not in session, visit our website for details. Subscribers to FUMC Allen's "Late Breaking News" will also receive an e-mail alert. We ask that members and guests not call the church office about church closings and program cancellations as we will be heading home to work remotely. Questions? Contact Larry Wright, 972.727.8261 x114.
