(KAIR)--As extremely cold temperatures grip the local area, an Atchison church is opening its doors for a period Wednesday to allow a break for those needing an escape from the winter weather elements.
Billed as "Warm Up Wednesday," the Atchison United Methodist Church, will open its Fellowship Hall, from 12 noon to 2 pm, for that purpose.
According to Pastor Cyd Stein, everyone is "welcome to come enjoy some warm hospitality, refreshments, and interaction with neighbors after being isolated by winter weather."
Warm Up Wednesday comes as dangerous temperatures are felt, with the National Weather Service issuing a cold weather advisory through Wednesday evening, as well as an Extreme Cold Watch from Wednesday evening through 12 noon Thursday.
