It’s February – and as usual “love is in the air”! Everything we know about Jesus Christ tells us that love is the answer to all our questions and all we need is that love to solve all our problems. When in doubt, always do the loving thing and that includes joining us for worship here at St. Vincent UCC!
For most of this month, Pastor Susan will be on medical leave following surgery on Feb. 6th (say a prayer for her); so we are happy to welcome guest pastors for our worship services on the 9th, 16th, & 23rd.
Our worship services are conducted in-person every Sunday morning at 10am. In addition, we’re also livestreaming the service on YouTube. For those interested in worshiping with us via livestreaming, you can do so by following this link: https://www.youtube.com/@SaintVincentUCC/featured. It will take you directly to our YouTube channel. We encourage you to “subscribe” and click the bell icon which will notify you when we go live every week. Through this livestreaming option we hope to spread the love of God further as we practice being “one-in-the-spirit” even when we are physically apart.
For those worshiping in person, you’ll find copies of the bulletin, large print bulletin, and church prayer list on the back table in the Sanctuary for your use. And for visiting children, there is a Kids Korner in the back of the Sanctuary with books, coloring supplies, stuffed animals, and toys for you to borrow during the worship service. Also, we have a newly re-furbished Children’s Playroom downstairs in Fellowship Hall for your use during worship.
