This Sunday’s worship bulletin.
Our sanctuary is open for modified, in-person worship. We ask that you read the reopening information provided on the Welcome page of our website (just underneath the cover photo) prior to attending in person so you are aware of the protocols. We will continue to livestream our worship services via Facebook Live.
**We will celebrate the Sacrament of Communion together, even as we worship online, as approved by Session with recent guidance from PCUSA.
You are invited to use elements found in your own household to be blessed and shared together in our common meal.
The Theology of the Sacraments from the Book of Order W-3.0401 - The Sacraments are the Word of God enacted and sealed in the life of the Church, the body of Christ. They are gracious acts of God, by which Christ Jesus offers his life to us in the power of the Holy Spirit. They are also human acts of gratitude, by which we offer our lives to God in love and service. The Sacraments are both physical signs and spiritual gifts, including words and actions, surrounded by prayer, in the context of the Church's common worship. They employ ordinary things - the basic elements of water, bread, and wine - in proclaiming the extraordinary love of God.
