Welcome!
Because the weather is not cooperating we’ll be making worship streaming only tomorrow. We will celebrate Communion on August 9 when some of us are able to gather in person again.

Call to Worship
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing.
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world
that we might be holy and blameless before God.
—from Ephesians 1:3-4
Hymn, “To God Be The Glory”
Verse 1
To God be the glory great things He has done
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the life gate that all may go in
Chorus
Praise the Lord praise the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord praise the Lord
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give Him the glory great things He has done
Verse 2
O perfect redemption the purchase of blood
To every believer the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives
Verse 3
Great things He has taught us
Great things He has done
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder our transport when Jesus we see

August Benevolence - Riverview Estates
The mission focus for August is Riverview Estates, “a South Jersey faith-based assisted living and skilled nursing care community based in Riverton, NJ”. COVID-19 is particularly serious for the elderly, such as the residents at Riverview. Maintaining the health and safety of the residents and staff is challenging and requires additional resources and creativity to balance the needs of the residents while keeping this highly contagious virus away.
Riverview Estates opened in 1954 and has been providing skilled nursing, assisted living, and rehabilitation services for close to 70 years. The organization has adapted to many changes over these years and is now called upon to adapt to this novel coronavirus. Your support is greatly appreciated.
