Worship & Music Notes

The Worship & Music Committee is very excited to announce additional changes to our worship services, beginning the weekend of July 3-4, which will move us closer to our customary pattern for worship.

Several sections of the liturgy will be reinstated at the Saturday 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 8:30 a.m. services, including the Confession/Forgiveness of Sins, one Reading, and the Creed.

Communion by intinction, distributed by Pastor and Assisting Ministers, will resume at all services; however, worshipers can also choose to take only the wafer or continue to pick up a communion ‘kit.’ This allows each member to select the option with which they are most comfortable.

Note that these changes will increase the length of the Saturday 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 8:30 a.m. services to approximately 45 minutes. The Sunday 10:00 a.m. service will continue to be the aBRIDGEd version that is roughly 30 minutes in length.

Barb's Medical Minute

One of the hardest things about this pandemic for a lot of us is the lack of physical contact. Human touch can support good mental health because it tames stress, anxiety, and depression. Newborns that are touched and held thrive better than those that aren’t. Touch can also lower blood pressure. Believe it or not, there has actually been a study about high fives! They found that doing them increased kids’ persistence and motivation. NBA players found that exchanging more high fives and fist bumps was linked to better team performance and cooperation. It’s a win win for everybody.
