GOVERNMENT STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Sunday, November 15, 2020 | 10AM THE TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN PENTECOST
Wherever you are worshiping today, we pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to you through the scripture, prayers, music, and sermon. We are called to worship by the promises of God in whom we place our faith and trust. Scripture and Hymn settings can be found on pages 5-9 of the bulletin. We invite you to reflect on the hymn texts as they are sung, and the Scriptures as they are read.
