God, you have so greatly loved us, long sought us, and mercifully redeemed us. Give us grace that in everything, we may yield ourselves, our wills and our works. A continual thank offering to you. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
The Gift of Love
arr. Hal Hopson

Although communion is normally held on the first Sunday of the month, we’ve decided to postpone this practice at the present time. For the safety of our congregation, we are taking small steps in the easing of restrictions related to Covid. We are working toward resuming communion in the coming months.
