St John’s Ev. Lutheran Church and School475 E. Herbert Ave. Salt Lake City, Utah 84110Web Address: Pastor Hank Malone 385-234-1931 HYPERLINK "mailto:rev.dr.hankmalone@" rev.dr.hankmalone@Phone Worship Service Sunday 9:55 AM 605-313-4812 group code 2525#Our phone worship service is available for you and your family and friends joining us by using 605-313-4812 and giving access code 2525# when prompted. Due to the background noise introduced by numerous phones being connected and each having some noise or generating noise in each location, like heavy breathing or dog barking..etc., -- We must ask you to mute your end of the call or cover the mike portion of the phone while you join the liturgy of our service. Heavy breathing and other noises make it very difficult for you and others to hear and worship. There is also a lag time of about 1.5 seconds between when you hear and when you respond making unison worship difficult at best. We will be using one voice for you to speak with, as you respond with the responses listed in the bulletin and printed prayers of the service by muting. You will sing with one voice and to the tune of the music. Brent, our organist has agreed to both play and be the lead voice for you to match with yours. This should do away with the lag time in the music and allow a little faster pace. The one voice singing is for you to sing along and participate in the liturgy. Worship is not a spectator thing and unless you are involved in the worship acts ---participating, the whole thing will be tedious and not the nurturing program it is meant to be. You need to sing along, pray along, and respond, but your phone needs to be on mute or the mike covered. We need You to hear and be part of this worship effort by participating. Singing with another voice may be challenging, but it will also be rewarding. Do more than listen, be involved and participate. If you mute only you will hear the imperfect effort. That is ok, because it will get better and it will be perfect in heaven.You are invited to email Pastor concerning questions about the service and or sermon. Helpful suggestions are more than appreciated. I appreciate the positive comments, but I really am looking for ways to improve your worship experience. May you be blessed by your time with us as God serves us during our worship of Him.As we struggle through these times of isolation, we give thanks to our God who tells us He will never leave us or forsake us. We may not be able to understand the why, but we know that God is in our midst working to sustain us and turn evil to our good. His word is never broken, and His love for us assures us of victory over all that would destroy body and soul. We are with Him and He continues to gift us with life, body, soul, family, friends and church family. We have much to be thankful for. Because of the resurrection of our Lord, we need never to fear. We can do all things through Him who strengthens and loves us. Let us take a deep breath and step back mentally and emotionally from problems as we respond to challenges. If you feel yourself getting carried into arguments, give you and your contender a little slack. Facts and reality are lost in moments when these emotional outbursts take place. They are opportunities to see that life is not all about us.
