Wow! I'm am so excited to worship with you tomorrow. I've just put the finishing touches on the hymns and songs and all the other pre-recorded things that go into our Zoom Worship services. This is a good one. I hope it will please God, and I hope it inspires you to want to please God. We'll gather using the same Zoom information from the last two months. If you don't know check your email for a message from The Spirit. As usual we will broadcast the Zoom Gathering on FaceBook Live. Let's make a joyful noise unto God together. Let's weep and grieve and smile and share joys. Somebody used to tell me that it's better with you. I'm pretty sure he was talking to me, but he was probably talking to you too.

Some really great resources from PC USA regarding racial justice... https://www.pcusa.org/racial-justice-resources/

Christ is our Salvation! Let us peer through the firmament and see that our God loves us. Let us seek out our neighbors because they too are loved by the God of the universe. Tomorrow is Sunday and we will gather to worship. If you get The Spirit you should have received the zoom information on September 9th. The information is the same as it has been for months. Let us gather together in this time that is like no other, because we have no choice. No time is really like any other. We thank God. We will beseech God. We will praise God. We will sing to God. Come and it will be better because you are there. As always we will also broadcast on FaceBook Live. Kirk Parrott for the Worship Enhancement Team.
