On Sunday, October 8, 2023 at the 9:00 am Traditional Service Pastor Bruce Johnson preached on “Growing Pains” (Acts 6:1- 7). The Gospel Lesson was Matthew 26:26-30.

The hymns were “In Unity We Lift Our Song”, “Bind Us Together, Lord” and “In Christ There Is No East or West”.

The Offertory anthem was “Celtic Communion” (arr. Mark Hayes) sung by the Sanctuary Choir under the direction of Patrick King and accompanied by Heidi Jacobs. Celtic Communion, arr. Mark Hayes. A brilliant inspiration! This beautiful anthem pairs the beloved Gaelic melody Bunessan with traditional texts that are a perfect match! The remarkable keyboard accompaniment supports the Irish folk flavor, which is further enhanced by the optional orchestration for flute or penny whistle, bass, guitar and percussion. Stunning message and music!
