Worship for Sept. 19

Here is the liturgy we used on Sunday, September 19. It’s interesting how the readings from the Bible, which we think are all warm and fuzzy, are actually pretty challenging. As long as are paying attention…. Peace be with you all. Worship for September 19, 2021

Our reading from Genesis, the Bible’s first book, is today found in chapter 6.
