2nd Sunday in Advent
The Multiplication of Blessing 12/4 @ 10am EST LIVE! on-site & online via Zoom at http://zoom.us/j/907548568 Sadly, we don’t talk much about blessings these days, aside from the holidays, perhaps, when we are reminded to “count our blessings.” Which is fine as far as it goes, but if we stop there, we miss the point that we are called to multiply and sharing our blessings. (Genesis 17:15-22; Luke 1:39-45) |
All hymns and responses necessary for worship are projected. Only large-print bulletins are provided on Sunday mornings. To download a PDF copy of the worship bulletin for this service (including musical notation for hymns), click here. For a large-print version of the bulletin (hymn lyrics only), click here.
- SPECIAL IN WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY: We will continue lighting the Advent candles, one a week from now through Christmas.
- The Once-in-a-While Choir will be singing special music, written by our own Cici Hunt.
- Join us for coffee and cookies and conversation in the foyer of the sanctuary both before and after worship (bring your own mug, if you like).
- Holy Communion: For our celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Communion / The Eucharist / The Lord’s Supper in worship this Sunday, those present in the sanctuary who wish to partake will be invited to come forward down the center aisle to receive a piece of gluten-free bread from a Deacon (who will be masked) and take for themselves a serving of juice (pre-set in a compostable cup). As always, all bread is gluten-free and all juice is non-alcoholic and ALL ARE INVITED. You do not need to be a member of this congregation or any congregation, but simply desire to receive this blessing in your life. Come, taste and see the goodness of God!
- If you're worshiping with us online, remember to prepare your own food and drink to share as part of this Sacrament.
