LUNCH AT THE LIVING ROOM

On Thursdays at noon, every week (beginning on Thursday, August 8) I'll be hosting Lunch at The Living Room, a time of study in God's Word, during which you can eat your lunch that you've brought with you. (If you think I'm cooking for you...think again). We'll meet at The Living Room, our Campus Ministry building on the corner of Jackson and Yale, and spend the noon hour taking a look at the appointed scriptures coming up in worship. The purpose is to think together about what God might be speaking to us, so we might speak "a word in due season" to one another.

We'd love to have you join us!

Pastor Stephan Sandness

UPDATE 7/26/24

WORSHIP IN THE PARK

On Sunday, August 4, we'll be MOVING our worship service from the friendly confines of 1020 State St. to the Spearfish City Park off of Canyon St. We'll gather at the big picnic shelter near the band shell at 10:00 a.m. (note the time change from our normal 9:00 a.m. worship time)

Worship will be led by the Joyful Journey band, with Todd Tetreault sitting in on keyboards! (Yes, we're hauling him out of retirement for this one!)

After worship, we'll share a potluck picnic together. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share, and, we'll be cooking the hamburgers and hot dogs! 

Please remember to bring your own lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. (We'll try to have a few chairs on hand for those who can't bring their own, but those will be limited.) Bring voices tuned for worship, food to share if you're able...and a few friends and relatives would be nice, too!

If you're worshipping with us on-line, we'd like to extend to you an invitation to participate in the sacrament of Holy Communion with us during our live-stream. Here's How:

Before the service, simply prepare elements for communion to have ready...perhaps some bread from the pantry, or some crackers, as well as a small amount of wine or grape juice poured into individual small glasses or cups. Have these set aside for when the service begins. When the words of institution are proclaimed over the bread and wine on the altar, know that those words and the promise they bear ("given and shed FOR YOU") are proclaimed and prayed over the elements in your home. If you are worshipping alone in your home, commune yourself with us. If there are two or more of you gathered in front of the screen, commune each other with the same words:"The body of Christ, given for you. The blood of Christ, shed for you." If there are young children with you, mark the sign of the cross on their foreheads and remind them that Jesus loves them and forgives them all of their sins. As you share the meal, be assured that you're sharing it with all of those physically gathered, as well as with others gathering with you on-line. We pray this opportunity will be a strength and comfort to you, as you receive Jesus' presence through the sacrament.
