To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

What is the one thing we do in our lives that has significance into eternity. Simply put, it's the relationships we have. Pastor Deb speaks from both Acts 10:44-48 and John 9:15-17 about the power of God's love that we experience and that we give in our relationships with others.
Join us for 27 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few favorite hymns, and 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.
