Sun., April 23, 2023: SUNDAY SERVICE
Guest Speaker: Amy-Jill Levine
Hybrid: Sanctuary / Zoom
This service will not be available on Youtube.
Resistance is more than political and social: it is also a type of personal discipline. Matthew 4:1-11 depicts a testing, trial, or temptation (the three terms can translate the same word in Greek) in which Satan tempts Jesus to use his powers for personal gain, and Jesus develops strategies of resistance. If we can learn such strategies such that we are “not led into temptation,” then we are better positioned to resist moves for personal gain that interfere with political and social progress.
Join us for a Sanctuary/Zoom Hybrid Service. During a hybrid service, you can attend either in person or virtually. The goal of the hybrid service is to make the experience of attending a service as similar as possible whether you were attending in person or virtually. If you are attending virtually, you will be able to see and to be seen. You will be able to see the speaker, the pulpit, and the surrounding area, you will be able to see the chalice and people who come up to share joys and concerns. You will be able to hear the speaker, music, and questions and comments from those in attendance, and joys and concerns. You will be able to share joys and concerns much as we have done in virtual services, and those attending in person will be able to see and hear you—Zoom will be projected on the screen in the sanctuary. Attending virtually or in person, you will see and hear, and be seen and be heard.
Please review the Indoor Hybrid Meeting Policy. In the Sanctuary, we will take attendance at the door and wear masks. Masks are not required for Children’s RE or lunch in the Fellowship Hall.
