Third Sunday of Easter — 58th 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".
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!
Ministers:
Rev. Billy Hester Rev. Claire Marich Ray Ellis, Minister of Music
The flowers for the service were given in memory of Lillian Hunter Lindsay by George and Laura Lindsay.
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 heroes of our faith — videographers, video editors, sound editors, and font editors.
