Sunday, September 27th: “A Season of Peace, Part 4: Together on Purpose”
Good Morning!
Our message for today is the final installment in our “A Season of Peace” series. The Scripture Readings are from Exodus 17:1-7 and Philipians 2:1-14.
“A Season of Peace, Part 4: Together on Purpose”
Rev. Dr. Kevin R. Boyd
Our Worship Service this morning will be accessible beginning at 10:45 AM. The Worship Team is trying to create a sense of fellowship in worship, even during these times of being socially distant. Our hope is that people will view the service at the same time as one another (10:45), and then join together afterward for a Virtual Narthex where people can join in fellowship and sharing with one another. We miss seeing everyone’s smiling faces and would love to catch up about what is going on in everyone’s lives. If you are unavailable at 10:45, you will still be able to view the service later in the day or later in the week.
At 10:45 AM, the Worship Service will premiere below:
A Zoom Link for joining the Virtual Narthex at the conclusion of the Worship Service has been sent via email.
Our Time For Young Disciples for this morning will be a part of our 10:45 AM Worship Service. After the service has concluded, the Time For Young Disciples will be available below. Mrs. Patti looks forward to seeing you!
