Sunday, September 13th: “A Season of Peace, Part 2: The Importance of Forgiveness”

Posted on September 13, 2020

Good Morning!

Our message for today is the second installment of our “A Season of Peace” series. The scripture readings are from Exodus 14:19-31 and Matthew 18:21-35.

“A Season of Peace, Part 2: The Importance of Forgiveness”

Rev. Dr. Kevin R. Boyd

Starting today, Sunday, September 13th, the Worship Services will be accessible beginning at 10:45 AM. The Worship Team is trying to create a sense of fellowship in worship, even during this time of being socially distant. Our hope is that people will view the worship service at the same time as one another (10:45), and then join together afterward for a Virtual Narthex where we can join in fellowship and sharing with one another. We miss seeing one another’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:

Greetings friends and members of Spring Branch!

Today we will try something new. We will have a “Virtual Narthex” so we can visit and greet one another, and I can greet you following worship, much like we would do in person. I also gave a focus question during the sermon, so we may discuss it a bit. This is our first time trying this and we will get better as things develop. This will be a Zoom meeting, so I will be ready at that time.

IMPORTANT: Your pastor is not perfect. Big surprise, huh? In the worship intro, I invited everyone to a 10:45 meeting, but the actual time is 11:30.

My apologies for this confusion. So please make a note of the correct time.
I hope to see you at the conclusion of the service.

Pastor Kevin

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. Ms. Patty looks forward to seeing you!
