Call to Worship Jackson Cassil

On this new morning and in every moment of our lives, gracious God, from generation to generation, we praise your holy name. Like our ancestors before us, we proclaim your greatness to our children, for we have seen your deeds of power and witnessed your goodness in our lives. Open our hearts so that we might share the gifts we have received from you. Let us worship God! Amen.

Eternal God, let the fire of your Holy Spirit lead us today. We are your children. We are your holy church. Teach us your glorious praise. Guide us to grow in faith, hope, and love. Lead us in paths of righteousness and peace. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Prayer for Illumination Macie Trimble

Almighty God, as we worship may we draw close to you and open our hearts to your Word. Reveal to us the gifts you have given us and the passions you have placed in our hearts, even from our youth. Help us to hear you through the wisdom of those surrounding us. Help us to see not only our own value but also the value of those younger than us, the value of those older than us, and show us how our gifts and our stages in life are meant to work together for your glory.

The Consistory has made a couple of adjustments to our in person worship. First, we are having a 2-3 person worship team that will sing the hymns instead of the congregation. We will RE-EVALUATE IN SEPTEMBER. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SING ALONG DURING SERVICE, IT IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED THAT YOU WEAR YOUR MASK.  Also, we are strongly encouraging everyone to wear a mask when they are walking around the church on Sundays. You can take it off when you are seated. But when you are going to your seat or leaving the church, we ask that you wear a mask. We’ll have masks available if you don’t have one.

Thanks for your understanding.

Please contact any Consistory member or Pastor Russ

if you have any questions
