People can get into trouble for not following the rules.... but sometimes God calls us to do just that.   When to know the difference?   We hope you will join us for worship this week and find out, with a message and worship based upon Luke 10:25-37; the story of the "Good Samaritan."  Our sermon is the first by our student minister, Ann Munsterman, who we are so pleased to have working with us.
Join us for just under 29 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of 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.
