with Hopkins UMC
Pastor Kelsey was out of town, so we do not have a recording of worship. This means we also had a guest preacher and so we don't have a manuscript of the sermon either. Thank you to Wynne Hurlbut for preaching and leading worship!

Upcoming Worship Schedule
Summer Sunday Worship
We have started our Summer Worship Schedule: Sundays we worship 10am at Common Ground, together with both churches. Bring your chairs and we will spread out around the yard and join together in a more casual worship setting in God's creation!
New Worship Service! Wednesday Evening Worship!
A lot of people spend weekends away from home during summer months, so it is the perfect time to add a mid-week worship option.
Every Wednesday Evening we are coming together for a more casual worship service in the Hopkins UMC sanctuary at 6:30pm. The service will focus around the same scripture, sermon, and prayers as Sunday morning, but will bring in some different music options. For those who are unable to worship in person, Pastor Kelsey shares this service live over Zoom.

Childcare will be provided in the basement of the church. This is a great option to invite people, outside of our church family, to try out! Let’s spread the word!

We also expect that the service will be a bit shorter than Sunday morning. For those who are unable to worship in person, we will share this service live over Zoom.
Childcare will be provided in the basement of the church.
