GSJ Worship - Sunday, June 22, 2020 - Fourth Sunday after Pentecost
We welcomed licensed lay worship leader Chris Burbridge
to lead us in worship this Sunday - the last Sunday before Summer Worship services start! See details about how things will shift a bit for the Summer services on our "What's Happening" page.
We have two videos this week - first the service video, which will be posted just below on Sunday morning by about 8:30am. Secondly, check out this week's Minute for Mission.
Follow along with readings, prayers and the reflection in the bulletin. You can also double check the announcement slides or the most recent e-Update
to see what's happening in our GSJ community.
Though we are physically apart, let us bring our hearts, minds and spirits together in worship!

Capitol Pride take place in August this year!
