Beginning July 5 our church service will be open to the public.

Please be advised that the service will include singing, which is regarded as a higher risk activity with regards to the spread of Covid-19. All who wish to sing (other than Music Director and song leaders in the front row) are asked to wear a facemask for the duration of the service.

Order of Service for August 16, 2020
 
Call to Worship (Psalm 86)

Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I am devoted to you; save your servant who trusts in you.
You are my God; be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all day long.
Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast to all who call on you.
