To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.
In troubling times, it's hard to live in hope, yet we know our God is always close, especially in those times. Pastor Deb uses scriptures from Psalm 23 and Psalm 137 to remind us that God is with us, even when events prompt us to doubt.
Join us for 30 minutes of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as communion. You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.
