Worship Experience for Sabbath, May 16, 2020

Worship with us even though we can't be together—with ASL signing

Worship on Sabbath, May 16, 2020

Just because the coronavirus is keeping us apart, it doesn't mean we can't worship together. Click the buttons to jump to what you want.


We apologize that our live stream went down in the middle of the service last Sabbath. Apparently there was a problem with either the church network or the Internet connection. We don't know how long it was down before we were made aware of it, but when we were, we were live again within a few minutes. Hopefully most of you stuck around and were able to finish watching the service. Our network people are working on this.


Worship service now has signing for the deaf

SNEC Deaf Ministries coordinator Jessica McGowan Smith will be signing in ASL in our worship service during this period of coronavirus restrictions. There will be a separate feed streamed to our Facebook page that will be trained on her for the entire service. Thanks, Jessica!

We interact on happenings during the week, give support to each other, listen to concerns and needs, and pray. We welcome everyone interested in an informal Bible journaling session to join.
