DUE TO COVID-19 SAFETY PLAN THE CHURCH BUILDING IS LOCKED.
Please call for appointment to meet with staff.
Dear Friends,
 
This coming Sunday we will celebrate the Reformation. Martin Luther never intended to create a separate church. He wanted to introduce reforms in the Catholic church. That did not happen and this spawned several Protestant movements.
 
Taking a page from my professorial career, I’m going to do a reenactment of Luther this Sunday. I hope you find it elucidating and enjoyable.
 
Blessings,
Jonathan

A Hymnal at Home!
We would like each Mayflower family to take a hymnal home as we continue our virtual worship services. 
These hymnals can be used each Sunday morning as we sing the hymns from home, and they can be used throughout the week as a devotional.  

Hymns for a Pilgrim People has been in our pews for about 10 years. It was published by GIA in 2007, and in addition to being a wonderful compilation of past and present hymnody, it also includes extensive scriptural index, a complete Psalter, prayers, and information about each hymn (who wrote the text, who composed the melody).
