THIS SUNDAY, January 29th, we will celebrate the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany. Pastor Char Corbett will lead us in worship. Beth Preston will lead the choir in hymns and anthems in collaboration with John Mulcahy playing the piano. We are so blessed by the gift of live music that Beth and John are sharing with us!
The service will begin at 10:00 AM both in the church sanctuary and online. The Order of Worship for this service is available here: https://wp.me/a9HLsD-Se.
USING PRAYER CARDS: Do you have a prayer you wish to lift up during worship? Prayer cards are available in the pews and on the tables where bulletins are picked up. Write your prayer on the card. Signing your name is optional. Prayer cards can then be placed in the baskets on the tables and will also be collected during the first hymn. They are given to our worship leader who then reads them during the prayer time in our worship service. Prayer requests also may be sent to Pastor Char before the Sunday service (before 8AM, please!): pastor@secondcongo.org.
