During this time of worshiping at home, we would love to have more of the congregation involved in the worship process. We invite you to add your voice to worship to help create the sound of the congregation online. Just visit sapcmusic.weebly.com to access the files for the following Sunday and record yourself reading or singing different parts of worship by the close of business on Thursday each week. There is a helpful video how-to video on the website above. When you send your recording in, everyone’s voice will be blended together to make a glorious sound (so don’t worry about how you sound individually). We invite you to sing the hymns and read the congregational readings and prayers. The more entries, the better the product. If you have any questions, please email David Lukens dlukens@sapctucker.org See (and hear) you on Sunday!

This morning’s service was recorded and edited Friday morning, before the uprising and unrest in our community and across the nation. We are working on a response that will be available later today. Link here for  Pentecost Service today.

Do you miss participating in worship by singing or responsive readings, prayers, confessions, etc.? Then you too can be a part of worship and make it more meaningful for all. Online worship has been so deep and meaningful, but most of miss the sound of people singing and reading together. Click the link below to add your voice!

VBS @ Home We are excited to offer this opportunity for a fun, family-oriented faith formation program for kids age 3 through 5th grade. The curriculum and kits are provided by our siblings at Decatur Presbyterian Church and they have graciously offered to create enough kits for our families to participate. Activities for pre-schoolers are designed to be done with an adult or caregiver; elementary aged children can complete the activities on their own, or with family involvement.

Use the Code SAPCFAM to register, and John will arrange the logistics of getting your VBS kit to you. For more information or questions, please contact John McCrosky.
