Sunday's Message!
This week we started meeting in person again, and Zoomed live from Hopkins' service. Below is a video of the sermon, songs, and prayers that were a part of the service and below that is a script of the sermon.
Here is a text manuscript of the message:
Lenten Devotional
Pastor Kelsey has put together a short daily devotional to take us through Lent based on the book “Images of God for Young Children” by Marie-Helene Delval and illustrated by Barbara Nascimbeni.
Each day includes the book's illustration and paired text, a psalm selection, a short reflection and a prayer.
You can find the weekly sets of Devotionals on the church website, click below!
Announcements
Worship Plan Update
We are meeting in person for church again! We will continue to meet in person as long as restaurants are open for in-person dining, barring necessary response to dramatic change in the risk level of the virus (in particular, we are keeping an eye on the new strain). Though in good news, risk level has decreased in Allegan County and we can hope that will continue as more are vaccinated.
The Sock Project
The Sock Project is a west Michigan based project that helps collect and distribute new socks to those in need. This is a project that was started by 2 Hopkins graduates.
We will collect NEW socks for one more week!
