SUNDAY WORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Hi Friends!
Tuesday Morning Meditation
In the rhythm of our busy lives, it can be difficult to find moments of true stillness—space where we can listen, pray, and simply be present with God. Yet throughout scripture, we are invited again and again into quiet: to rest, to abide, and to notice the gentle movement of God’s Spirit within and around us.
In response to this invitation, I would like to begin a new weekly gathering: a Tuesday Morning Meditation held in the sanctuary at 9:00 AM, beginning June 9. This will be a simple, 30-minute time to center ourselves in God’s presence through scripture, silence, and guided prayer. We will be done in time to make it to Hank’s Hour on the second Tuesday.
Each week will follow a gentle pattern. We will begin with a short passage of scripture, read slowly in the spirit of Lectio Divina—an ancient practice of listening deeply for God’s word. As the words settle, we will enter into a period of quiet meditation, allowing space for prayer that is less about speaking and more about receiving. We will close with an opportunity to share a brief reflection, if you feel led, and a simple prayer to carry us into the day.
This is not a class or a program, but a space—one rooted in stillness, openness, and trust. There is no expectation of experience or expertise. Whether you are familiar with meditation or completely new to it, you are welcome just as you are.
Like the psalmist reminds us, “Be still, and know that I am God.” In that stillness, we often discover not emptiness, but presence—God already there, waiting for us to notice.
We hope this weekly rhythm will offer a quiet beginning to your Tuesdays and a deeper awareness of God’s abiding presence throughout your week. I would welcome your thoughts and input.
Blessings!

🙏 SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICES
Join us each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. as our church family gathers for worship, music, prayers and a Bible-based sermon.
Children stay with their families in church through the children’s sermon, then leave for Sunday school. On the first Sunday, children stay in church with their families. Packets with stories, puzzles, coloring pages, etc. are available for children during the worship service. There is a nursery for infants through preschool children.
After worship service come and enjoy a time of fellowship with others over light refreshments in Gillespie Hall. It’s a great time to visit informally.
COMMUNION (1st Sunday)
Is June 7th
We partake in Communion by intinction. This practice involves breaking off a smaller piece of bread from a larger loaf. Then, we dip it into consecrated wine (or juice) before consuming. The Pastor breaks apart a larger loaf of bread. We break off smaller pieces and dip them into a communal goblet of wine (or juice). If you are unsure how to join, but would like to join in Communion, don’t worry about the details. Simply watch the folks around you. Follow their lead.
We also offer a gluten free choice for the convenience of those with certain allergies.
If you can’t attend our worship service, here is the link for the live recorded service on Community Presbyterian YouTube channel:

NOISY BUCKETS (1st Sunday)
The Noisy Bucket offering is collected on the third Sunday of each month, with the children shaking tin buckets as those in the congregation donate their coins (green is accepted). This offering is donated monthly to the Box Elder Community Pantry to help those with food insecurity.
