PLEASE JOIN US FOR WORSHIP...
Union Church of Bay Ridge members and friends, we hope you’ll join us today, Palm Sunday, at 11:00 a.m., for our online worship. BELOW, we have attached a link to the recorded YouTube video, which will stream at 11 a.m., and let us worship together, though apart! We are going to try something new that many churches are trying: virtual communion. Pastor Bob will be leading the Lord’s Supper liturgy in the service, and would ask that those worshiping at home have a small serving of grape juice and a piece bread of your choosing in front of you as he does so (if you can't access grape juice, it's "theologically" OK to substitute as close as you can!). As he blesses the "elements", he will direct that blessing to you at home, and you can partake of the Lord’s Supper along with him. If you aren't able to view the video at 11 a.m., feel free to stream it later when you can. I cannot say how grateful I am to our four choir members and music director for their wonderful work in creating this worship experience. Below is a "bulletin" to accompany the video...enjoy worship, and may it be a blessing to you!
