Worship Canceled for Sunday, January 15, 2023
The church board has canceled the Gentle Faith class and the worship service for tomorrow, January 15, because driving conditions may still be unsafe. It won't do to start the year off with a broken leg or dented fenders!
Stay home, stay warm, and contemplate what discipleship means in your life, in the church, and in society.
We look forward to seeing you next week!

You send us, God of the
Great Commission, but we hedge and
hesitate. We
are witnesses of your

fail to shine your light
for all to see. Forgive our fears. Free
our testimony…silent prayers of confession… Amen.
* assurance of pardon
One: Christ brings the healing light of forgiveness into the locked places of our souls; resurrecting our spirits and breathing new life into us.
All: Thanks be to God; Lord, help us live as forgiven people. Amen.
* Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to
the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen. Amen.
