New guidelines from NH state officials and a discussion with our gathered congregation on Father’s Day indicated that fully vaccinated people can worship unmasked. Those who wish to continue to mask, distance, to meet their unique needs may do so without judgement. Masks and hand sanitizer will still be available. Individual communion packets, spaced seating, and stationary offering plates will still be used.
Please stay home if you have flu-like symptoms or have a fever

Call to Worship (responsively)
Leader: When will we find the true design,
People: Intended for our days?
Leader: In heaven to come,
People: When life is done,
Leader: And nothing’s left but praise?
People: Or will we see in glimpses now,
Leader: The pattern God reveals?
People: And here embrace this earthly race,
Leader: That wounds us but also heals.

Gentle weaver, loving God, we are your works of art, and so we see eternity

fear, give us the eyes to recognize the heaven always here.

Prayer of Dedication (unison)
In whatever gifts we offer to you, God, you are accepting your own creation. We return fragments to you.
Not as owners, but as borrowers our giving is done. In true wonder we receive your love we cannot earn but
receive as a gift which multiplies and completes our gifts.
