Tonight's service is led by our 3rd service ensemble, who lead our regular Sunday evening services at 5:30. It's become a tradition to share the warmth and style of that service as part of our Christmas celebrations. It's more relaxed and informal than our usual Sunday mornings, but still with a sense of reverence and wonder. We hope you find it helpful and look forward to worshiping with you on a Sunday evening soon. God's peace to you and yours this night. Downloadable Bulletin: https://rhumc.org/documents/2024/Bull...
