In light of the volunteer fair taking place afterward, Sunday’s worship will focus on volunteerism and the assertion in Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthians that we are all members of the one body of Christ. It takes all of us and the full range of spiritual gifts to bring God’s kin-dom to fruition. Discerning our gifts isn’t always easy; nor is finding just the right fit for our gifts. Together, as a church, we help each other to figure it out. By the grace of God, we can all belong and we can all be Christ’s body.

Update on Masking for Sunday Morning Worship
As we continue to discern what is the best masking practice at any given moment, for this next stretch of time we are lifting our requirement for masking during Sunday morning worship. However, if you are feeling more comfortable to continue wearing a mask, you are most welcome to do so. And as always, if you are feeling unwell, please enjoy worshipping from home via our very fine streamed services.
____________________________
Sunday service is also live-streamed from the sanctuary at 10:15am Sunday morning. Please participate, live on YouTube. The platform has the option for you to add your comments, prayers and concerns in the live chat window. You may also choose to write your prayers down, speak them aloud during the service, or send your prayer requests to us via email. Arrive at 10:15am to greet each other, then the service will begin right at 10:30am.
___________________
Our worship each Sunday is intended to be a collective experience, a communal practice.
We might step into whatever is our sanctuary, each one of us as individuals, and yet as we assemble, from wherever we are, we become a people, drawn together through song and prayer, through word and ritual, and through the Spirit who breathes through it all, through us all.
One and the same Spirit uniting us breathing us into life!
