Hybrid Worship
10 October 2021 - Access Sunday
Good Morning - Welcome to Hybrid Worship!

We're continuing with a single service at 10:15 am, in the sanctuary, on Zoom, and streaming live to YouTube. While we love our mountain campus, we're also excited to be "breaking out" by using technology to share our core values of justice, inclusion, and spirituality.

Whether you are getting ready to come to the campus or you're preparing to participate online, you are loved!

Invitation to Worship
One: We gather in the name of our God.
All: The Disabled and Differently-abled God, the God of Access, the God of Interdependence, the God whose Differences are Holy.
One: How shall we worship this God?
All: With sound and with silence, with raised hands and with stillness, with words spoken and unspoken, with deep thought and the inner movements of our souls.
One: With every limit and ability of our bodies and minds, we will worship God.
All: Praise be to God.
