Sixteenth Sunday After Pentecost
"We invite everyone to share communion around God's altar.
We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.
We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and
reason by providing a safe place to respond to each other's needs,
hurts, joys, and interests."

This Sunday's Anthem:
Steal Away
A solo by Dolores Chandler
Refrain
Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus!
Steal away, steal away home,
I ain't got long to stay here.
My Lord, He calls me,
He calls me by the thunder;
The trumpet sounds within my soul,
I ain't got long to stay here.
Refrain
Green trees are bending,
Poor sinners stand a-trembling;
The trumpet sounds within my soul,
I ain't got long to stay here.
Refrain
My Lord, He calls me,
He calls me by the lightning;
The trumpet sounds within my soul,
I ain't got long to stay here.
The words and music were created by Wallace Willis, a slave who became a Choctaw freedman in the old Indian Territory of what is now Oklahoma. Alexander Reid, a minister at the Choctaw Boarding School, heard Willis singing the song in 1862 and transcribed the words and melody. He sent the music to the Jubilee Singers of Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, who popularized the song to such an extent that it became a standard Gospel song found in the hymnals of many Protestant denominations.
