Being Presbyterian

Please note the word “DRILL” in that headline. Everybody is fine.

Last week I received an email that contained the October edition of the “Grapevine” newsletter from Deep River Community Church. In the newsletter was this little gem:

Fire Drill Results: Unlike 2007, there was no warning to the congregation so errors occurred in exiting the building. However, under the circumstances , the exit was excellent, quick, orderly. The Choir did not wait for directions from the Ushers, who check the church, so were burned. …

It served as a good reminder that fire safety is an important thing to consider – do you know how to get out of the sanctuary safely in an emergency?
