Transfiguration Sunday β 49th Online Service during the COVID-19 Pandemic
We have suspended on-site church activities until further notice. Remember: This crisis is an opportunity for us to be "little Christs".
Β
We extend a cordial welcome to each person worshipping with us online. We realize that during this time of separation, it is critical for us to be connected. We hope the service will leave you feeling renewed, fulfilled, and challenged. God bless you all!
The flowers for todayβs service are given by Kelli Stewart in loving memory of her husband, Jim Ernsberger, and in honor of all the couples that will be renewing their vows.
Special Thanks:
Every Sunday during this period of virtual services due to the pandemic, there are people who work behind the scenes to help make the service meaningful and wonderful for all of us and our online visitors. We thank those unsung heroes of faith β our videographers, video editors, sound editors, and font editors.
