Online Worship for Sunday September 13thRecorded on Sunday September 6th As mentioned last week, our return to in-person worship brings with it a change to our parish's online service format. Beginning this Sunday you will be able to watch a video of an in-person service recorded by our clergy team on the preceding Sunday. Online worship services will continue in this pattern throughout the fall. This week's online service was recorded last Sunday, September 6th at Holy Trinity Pembroke. Beginning this week you will also find audio recordings of sermons preached by the clergy team at other services posted to our website. The clergy team intends to rotate our weekly recording location around the parish, so that you can continue to see some of the beautiful interiors of our many sanctuaries. Copies of the order of service and The Valley Bulletin will continue to be made available online so you can pray along with us at home. Please note that the weekly service will be available on our YouTube channel beginning Sundays at midnight. Click "Click to Pray" below to link to this week's service. For more infomation visit:
