The Richmond United Presbyterian Church Celebration Service - Sunday, March 15, 2020


Here's a copy of the order and the podcast of the worship service I led in the Richmond United Presbyterian Church, Richmond, Ohio on Sunday, March 15, 2020. We focused on how we might apply the story of the woman at the well to our own lives. We also celebrated communion during the service.

God of mercy, you sent Jesus Christ to seek and save the lost. We confess that we have strayed from you and turned aside from your way.
