In this time of social distancing, we stay connected to one another by gathering virtually in worship to join our voices together in prayer, to fellowship and share with one another, and to explore scripture in an interactive format. Contact Sheryl or the church office if you need help getting ZOOM onto your device.
We will also be celebrating Communion, so have bread and drink available that morning to represent for you the body and blood of Christ. Communion need not be by intinction, so you will likely want a cup for each person in the household.
Artwork: “A Painting depicting the night when Jacob wrestled with God. After the match was over, Jacob was given the name ‘Israel,’ which means ‘God Wrestler.’ This painting is intended to remind us of our tendency to struggle and wrestle with God’s calling, mystery, and sovereignty.”
“I firmly believe that art is a communion with the soul. Through my art, I strive to make known the beauty and wonder of life and faith. The pieces in this exhibit are inspired by things that have touched my life in a meaningful way. They range from plein air and impressionism to abstract and conceptual. My hope is to successfully communicate those inspirations so that you might be touched as well.” From: https://www.mikemoyersfineart.com/about
