Last Sunday evening (October 27) we welcomed folks from several sister churches around the area — as well as representatives from the Great Lakes Presbytery and some of our original charter members for a 20th anniversary / building dedication / Reformation Day service. With seven ministers participating in leading the service, and a great dinner afterwards, it was a delightful evening.
With 50 guests and visitors from sister churches, we had around 140 in attendance (a number which the old sanctuary could never have seated!)
The singing was amazing!
Okay, so I picked some long Psalms (can you blame me for wanting to hear them sung by a congregation of 140?!):
Psalm 102 to Jerusalem, Psalm 68 to the old Genevan tune, Psalm 132 to Blaenwern (a lovely Welsh tune), and Psalm 90 to Suilven (a new Scottish tune) — along with Andy Deliyannides’ setting of “Hail, O Daystar” (a medieval advent hymn).
The sermon (on Numbers 10) will be on sermon audio soon:
