Welcome to Worshipwith Rev. Leigh McCaffreySteve Woodruff - Virtual Organist |
Sunday - March 15, 2026
9 a.m. - Worship Service ~ In-person and via Zoom
|
Even in the midst of such a time as this, good things are happening all around us. Sometimes, however, we are so mired in the way things have always been, that we miss the miracles in our world.
Come Sunday to hear the story of a man who found sight once he had washed - but then had to justify himself over and over to an unbelieving community.
Can we stop "majoring in the minors"?
Can we remove what keeps us blind to God's grace?
Can we recover a sense of wonder and optimism?
Come find the transformation that leads to hope.
Come gather with the Beloved Community.
Come sing and pray and rest your soul.
Join us Sunday at 9:00 am for worship. All are welcome.

IMPORTANT! Worship Volunteers Needed
Zoom Operators Needed
Because sometimes the Zoom Operators want to attend worship without any distractions. Running Zoom involves turning the computer to follow the action, admit attendees, and record worship. Helpers will be standing by.
Greeters/Ushers Needed
Welcome people at the door. Encourage them to wear a nametag. (Although THEY may know who they are, others may not.) Distribute bulletins, answer any questions they may have, take up the offering, take a count of people attending. Straighten up after the service.
Coffee Hour Hosts Needed
Set up coffee and tea, set out treats, (there are usually some kind of cookie or baked good in the FC freezer) or bake something to bring. You can even tag-team with someone - they set up and bake; another washes dishes and straightens up.
Worship Assistants
Just as the name suggests, Worship Assistants help support the pastor during the worship service. Responsibilities may include reading designated Bible passages, leading the Call to Worship, announcing hymns, and assisting with Communion. |
