Announcements

There will be a service held at church this morning for those who want to attend! Doors will open at ~10:50, and it will be an abbreviated service. Social Distancing will be maintained, and guidelines require that masks be worn into and out of the church.

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 89: 1-4, 15-18 (ESV taken from Biblia.com)

1 I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. 2 For I said, "Steadfast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness." 3 You have said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant: 4 'I will establish your offspring forever, and build your throne for all generations.'" Selah

15 Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face, who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted. 17 For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted. 18 For our shiled belongs to the Lord, our king to eh Holy One Israel.
