Jesus calls Philip to be a disciple saying, “Follow me.” Philip finds Nathaniel, who famously says, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip says simply, “Come and see.”

Worship - January 10, 2021 (re-posted)
Thank you for joining this digital worship service for Sunday, January 10th, 2021, the Baptism of Our Lord. We hear the story from the Gospel of Mark of the baptism of Jesus in the river Jordan by John the baptizer. The heavens are torn apart and a dove descends on Jesus. A voice from heaven declares,
“You are my Son; with you I am well pleased.”

We are resuming worship services in the sancturary again.
Sunday, October 4, 2020, at 9:00am
If you are uncomfortable attending worship service, remember we will still provide a weekly video, posted on Facebook and on YouTube (or on DVD if more convenient for you). These videos will include a sermon recorded live at the worship service and be available later in the day on Sundays, instead of Saturday evenings.
| We will continue to use the following guidelines to help reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19. We are implementing these guidelines to help reduce the chance of spreading COVID-19 but we all know it is impossible to totally eliminate the risk.
- All high-touch services (door handles, tops of pews, altar rail, etc) will be sanitized prior to the service. A greeter will be at the front door to welcome you and ensure that we are socially distanced outside and in the entryway before entering the sanctuary.
- Please wear a face mask, if you have one. We will have extras available at the door. The narthex will only be used for going to and from the restroom.
- Hand sanitizer and disposable face masks (if you did not bring one) will be on the table as you enter. NO bulletins will be printed as we will primarily be using the large projector screen.
- Ushers will help you to a pew with a marker that indicates designated seating. This is to ensure that we are all spaced out in the sanctuary.
- Singing and talking loudly has been shown to spread droplets into the air. so we encourage you to keep your face mask on during the service. There will be music and videos for us to listen to during the service.
- For communion, ushers will indicate when it is time for your pew to go to the front using the center aisle. At the alter rail there are 6 positions (3 on each side of the sanctuary) marked off with decorative towels. After the bread and wine are placed on the rail, you may move forward for communion. To minimize everyone touching the altar rail surfaces, we will not be kneeling.
- At the end of the service, ushers will help us all to be socially distanced as we exit the church. Fellowship will be outside in front of the church.

Thank you for joining this digital worship service for Sunday, December 20th, 2020,
the 4th Sunday of Advent. We are right upon the darkest part of the year, and our
Advent wreath is fully ablaze with all four candles lit. Today the angel Gabriel comes
to visit Mary and says the ominous phrase, “Do not be afraid, Mary.” The holy
messenger assures Mary that God is about to do a great, new thing,
and she will have a part in it.

We light the third candle of Advent, the pink (or rose) colored candle as a glimpse
of joy at the prospect that soon God’s love will truly bring a new reality to us.
Today we meet John the Baptist again, who points out the light that is coming
which no darkness will overcome.
