March 22 @ St. Paul's UMC (1): Worship

Soichi Wantanabe

Following the guidance of the Mountain Sky Conference, and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not holding worship services in our sanctuary this week. Instead, we are offering posts here and on our YouTube channel as one way to stay connected as a community of faith.

The hymns for this week are linked to YouTube videos. The message may found on our YouTube channel. Click on the links below to view those files.

Call to Worship: Who can ascend the Lord’s mountain Who can stand in God’s holy sanctuary? Only the one with clean hands and a pure heart; the one who hasn’t made false promises, the one who hasn’t sworn dishonestly. That kind of person receives blessings from the Lord and righteousness from the God who saves. And that’s how things are with the generation that seeks God—that seeks the face of Jacob’s God.   - Psalm 24:3-6 (CEB)
