Reverend Canon Stephanie Pellow leads our worship on this Second Sunday in Pentecost, June 7, 2026, with Music Director Zacharia Dekker, and Lay Assistant and Intercessor Jim Hodder. The lessons are read by Hugh Thompson (Genesis 12:11-9) and Kamma Thompson (The Letter to the Romans 4:13-25). Zach cantors the verses to Psalm 33:1-12, while the congregation responds with, “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made”, from the George Black setting, ‘In the Midst of the Congregation’. The Gospel is from Matthew (9:9-13, 18-26). Our hymns this Sunday: ‘Thou, Who at Thy First Eucharist’ (Common Praise #57); ‘Here, Lord, We Take the Broken Bread’ (#65); and, as our Recessional, ‘Strengthen For Service, Lord’ (#87). During Communion the choir sings the anthem, ‘Come to the Table’, by Elizabeth Lowman. Being the first Sunday of the month there is the ‘Litany of Healing’, during which all wishing anointing are invited to the altar rail. All are invited to the hall for refreshments and conversation following Zach’s Postlude.
