Announcements

The Leadership Team met briefly on Wednesday, determining that meeting in person was still not a feasible option for our congregation at this time.

The Program and Arrangements Committee of the Church of the Brethren Annual Conference has announced plans for a series of denominational virtual events on July 1 and 2. Although the 2020 Annual Conference that would have taken place in Grand Rapids, Mich., has been cancelled, the committee decided it is important for the denomination to gather, albeit in a different way, in recognition of the church’s ongoing life together. The virtual denominational choir will also be held during this time to include the songs Blessed Assurance, I See a New World Coming, and Move in Our Midst. Persons who want to be on the mailing list for the denominational virtual choir to receive updates and the link to the project webpage, when available, are encouraged to email their contact information to: cobvirtualchoir2020@gmail.com.

Psalm Reading

Psalm 100 (NRSV taken from Bible Gateway)

1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with singing. 3 Know that the lord is God. It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name. 5 For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
