Worship for the 16th Sunday after Pentecost featured a sermon titled "Let Us Cross to the Other Side" by guest pastor, the Rev. Kellie Weekley-Mills. We had issues again with the Facebook Livestream (I think it was my fault for playing with some of the settings to test things and then not switch them back!). The recording was interrupted at several points during the service, so that video will be removed from the Facebook page. I'm fairly certain I know what I did and can have it fixed for next week. Always a learning curve with new technology!
The edited video as well as SoundCloud audio and pdf bulletin are linked below. Peace, Shaun ![]()

The Rev. Carol Divens Roth joins us once again to lead worship this week, preaching a sermon titled "The Chicken Coop." Musical selections are varied - from traditional to newer tunes, Iona Community to Irish folk song. You are encouraged to fully participate in the service from home as it happens on screen.
And special worship update (a more detailed email and post card is coming later this week): We will move to Sunday mornings for our worship service THIS coming Sunday, August 31 at 11:00am. The same set up as Friday afternoons will apply, with those wishing to attend our recording session invited to enter the East Swissvale Avenue entrance, masked, sitting socially distanced. The same rules apply during the service: avoid handshakes, hugs, singing, but do join in prayers and responses. We will attempt to live stream the service on Facebook while recording Sunday at 11:00. The bulletin will be emailed out Friday afternoon so that you can follow along if watching the live stream. The edited video with responses & lyrics will be available on YouTube Monday morning. ![]()
As our guest pastor, the Rev. Carol Divens Roth, said in her email to the staff about this week's service, "if we can have Christmas in July, why not Easter in August?!" This week we are reminded that every Sunday is a little Easter by recounting the story of the empty tomb found in the gospel of Luke. The psalm reading encourages us with the repeated phrase, "his steadfast love endures forever."
