God Hugs You: Virtual Worship with Communion
Channel: Rev. Charlene Hinckley
Date: 2020-07-05

Good people, Most royal greening verdancy, Rooted in the sun,
You shine with radiant light, in this circle of earthly existence.
You shine so finely, it surpasses understanding.
God hugs you. You are encircled by the arms of the mystery of God. - Hildegard of Bingen


That's is. It says it all, God hugs you. Where are you tired, depressed, exhausted, God hugs you.


St. Paul's UCC celebrates communion in our virtual worship so grab some bread (cookie, donut, cracker, cake) and wine (juice, water, your favorite beverage) join us in breaking bread together. 


Online worship for St. Paul's United Church of Christ Hinckley. If you would like to support our ministry with your gifts please visit stapaulshinckley.org
