The Season of Creation - First Sunday

September 6, 2020

Sunday, September 6, 2020 Worship @ GSJ

Welcome back to worship with Glebe-St.James! After a summer of shared ecumenical services, we are pleased to welcome Rev. Teresa Burnett-Cole back from her sabbatical to lead us in worship. A small team will be onsite at GSJ to record the 10:30am live-stream worship.

This is our first Sunday testing out new technology on three fronts: new hardware, new software and a new streaming platform. Prayers of support are most welcome! 

Scripture Reading: Genesis 2:1-25
Bulletin: Find both the text of the service with community announcements at the end here.
Announcement Slides: The complete set of announcement slides can be found here. 
Donating at a Distance: Join in on the virtual offering plate for M&S, Outreach & GSJ operational needs!  

.....though we are physically apart, let us join our hearts, minds and spirits in worship!
