Finding the links below may be difficult with some devices. If you are at a computer, simply float your cursor over text you suspect may be a link. If it changes color or your cursor turns into a hand pointer, you’ve found one! If you’re working with a touchscreen, unfortunately for now you’ll just have to tap and tap where you think links ought to be (for example, on the phrase “Order of Worship and Bulletin,” immediately below).

Order of Worship and Bulletin

“Never Submit Again” – Raising themes that have been present in our society over the past week – the mass killing of 49 people attending a Latin Night at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, the “Not Guilty” verdict of the police officer who drove the van carrying the fatally injured Freddy Gray in Baltimore, the occasion of Ramadan, and the raising of the Transgender flag over the St. Louis City Hall and other civic buildings – Pastor Dave Denoon considers the words of Paul in the letter to the church at Galatia, “Do not submit to a yoke of slavery.”

What are our personal and societal yokes and shackles? How do we find ourselves subject to them? How shall we cast them off and avoid them again?

Music for worship, this morning, includes classical and spiritual works played on the organ by Carol Mallette, some of them sung by tenor Mark Cereghino.
