Please join us July 9th at 10:30 a.m. for our weekly service with Eucharist/Holy Communion. If you are unable to attend in person, we will have a video service on our Facebook page on Sunday morning. Both services are led by our vicar, The Rev. Cheryl Fox.
Our weekly services are open to all. We are a welcoming and affirming church in Williams, Arizona. Our communion service is also open to all and because we are both a Lutheran and Episcopal congregation, we receive the bread, and we offer the one cup. For Episcopalians, we also offer intinction of the bread wafer in the cup. As is a custom for Lutherans, we offer small individual glasses of wine and grape juice. And small children may come forward with an adult or older sibling and receive a blessing from Rev. Fox.
After the service, please stay for our coffee hour with all kinds of treats and beverages, along with continuing fellowship and lively conversation.
Below is a link to the text for the video service that will be posted on Facebook. This includes the scripture readings and prayers of the day. This may also be used for personal study and reflection during the week.
