Join us on Friday evening, July 24 and Saturday morning, July 25 as we celebrate the Communion service.  On Friday evening beginning at 8:00 p.m., we will have our virtual churchwide vesper service and include a footwashing service.  I would like our members to gather their families in their homes for worship and wash each others' feet while I provide instruction online.  On Saturday morning, during the 11:45 a.m. service, we will have our virtual service with a number of worshipful musical offerings, a message, and then our virtual communion service.  Continue reading for details on how to prepare for the service.
