WORSHIP AT HOME
September 26, 2021

Blessing of the Animals
“All God’s Creatures got a place in the choir”

Today’s service includes a Blessing of the Animals, so bring your pet with you to church – or a photo if that is a little more still.

This week our Anthem “A Place in the Choir” is a fun celebration of animal sounds. We will also sing “All Things Bright and Beautiful” as a hymn following the Blessing of the Animals.

Our Zoom service will include a time for lighting candles as our prayers for joys and sorrows – including all of our celebrations.

Join Zoom at 11:10am for a time of conversation following the service.

Next Sunday
We continue on to Taste next Sunday, as we celebrate Worldwide Communion live on Zoom. There will be a shorter time of worship shared on YouTube, but consider attending Zoom by computer or phone next week to share in communion with one another, bringing bread and juice, or whatever you have at home that is similar, with you.

This Sunday September 26th at 10:30am we continue the Season of Creation via Zoom

Today at 9am In the Wild will be gathering on the Church Lawn (with masks and distancing). Our first of a new monthly time for spirituality in nature for all ages, called In the Wild. This month our theme is balance, and we will have the opportunity to look more closely at the new plantings around the church. If you cannot attend this month, save the date for October 17th.

Today for our 10:30am service on Zoom and YouTube, we are on our second week of experiencing creation with all our senses. As we reflect on sight, we turn to poetry of the Romanticism movement which offers a perspective on the sacredness of nature.

Our music includes a beautiful arrangement of Be Thou My Vision by Bob Chilcott, as well as hymns that express the beauty of creation.

The service will be the same on Zoom and YouTube, so watch either way and then join Zoom at 11am for a time of conversation.

Next Sunday
Our worship on our next sense, Sound, will also include a Blessing of the Animals, so bring your pets or photos of your pet to the screen with you!

Coming Up on September 19, 2021 – In the Wild

This Coming Sunday

We have two worship opportunities on Sunday September 19, 2021:

Our weekly Sunday morning service at 10:30 continues on Zoom and YouTube, as we continue our Season of Creation theme.

At 9am on the church lawn (rain or shine) we will have a new monthly outdoor gathering called In the Wild, a time for spirituality in nature for all ages. Meet on the church lawn with your mask, as we listen for wisdom in readings and in nature.


In order to meet COVID protocols we will distance between households and have a sign in for contact tracing. Our theme this month will be balance, as we recognize the Autumnal Equinox and also take some time to pay attention to our church landscaping. Please contact Emily if you have any questions.
