Worship resources for this week

Each week we give you links to virtual worship, a copy of the order of worship, and information about in-person and virtual activities. Resources for Sunday worship are usually updated on Saturday. Archive of past worship resources posts.

NOTE: If you are viewing this on your phone and cannot see the whole message below, turn on autorotate on your phone and turn the phone sideways to landscape mode, which should make it readable. We hope to fix this issue with the integration between our emails and the website.

    April Compassion Offering:

    One Great Hour of Sharing


    One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) is a cornerstone of United Church of Christ’s mission:


    • OGHS supports global refugees working to reach new homes and build new lives.
    • OGHS addresses emergency needs arising from hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes.
    • OGHS develops sustainable resources and skills among communities (both domestic and international) weakened by chronic poverty or climate challenges.
    • OGHS works in long-standing partnerships with denominations such as Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Presbyterian Church (USA), Church of the Brethren, and with ecumenical alliances such as Church World Service.


    Now more than ever, our partnerships are essential and cherished.

    Now more than ever, our assistance is crucial to support the homeless, the hungry, the victims of war.

    Now more than ever, it is our privilege to offer tangible support which saves lives.


    Give as you are able. Be the face of God’s love in the world. Thank you.
