To say that "God is Love" is to say that loving relationships are at the core of God's being. Rev. Patti Case looks at Psalm 27 as a means of understanding this vital aspect of who God is and who God wants us to be.

Our worship this week is 31 minutes long, with sing-along hymns, prayers, and a special guest preacher, Rev. Patti Case, bringing the word.
As we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where 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 are given to 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. (Scroll down for an Order of Worship)

We hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from being part. Please tell friends, family, and others you know about our online church that is here with doors that are always open, walls as wide as the world, and always room at the table.
