October 4, 2020 Worship

Our first indoor worship since March!

Anniversary Sunday

Today's scriptures from Exodus, Romans and Matthew's Gospel help us gather around the table, partake of the common loaf and cup, and find peace with each other. 

We hear from Jesus in Matthew's gospel,  "And what about you? Who do you say that I am?" in Matthew 16: 13-20. We worship in word, prayer and song, listening to beloved hymns recorded in our sanctuary by Bob Erb, Jim Kooser, and Bob Schnaars. 

A service of Word and Song, including a School Start Blessing.
