Blessing of the Animals and Harvest Thanksgiving

October 3, 2021 Outdoor Service

We gathered out of doors for the first in-person service at Holy Spirit since February 2020.

Animals were blessed, thanks were given to God and our Restoration Project was blessed.

What Is Online Worship Like?

You are part of a worshipping congregation. Our services are live and in-person. You are not simply viewing someone else worshipping.

   Music
   Communal prayer
   Live preaching
   Fellowship
   All materials provided on-screen

Why not give it a try? Online worship is a new experience but it's enjoyable and real. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Tips for Successful Online Gathering

Try to avoid having a window or bright light behind you.
Have a source of illumination in front of you.

Sign on a few minutes in advance of the session by clicking the appropriate button on this page.

You will need to be admitted to the session from a “waiting room" by the host.

Enter your name. That way everyone knows who is attending.

Connect your device's video and audio.

Mute yourself when there are noises in your environment — you are coughing, your dog is barking etc.

We mute ourselves during hymns. Otherwise, it can be hard to hear, due to internet lag time.

We unmute ourselves for prayers, responses and the like.

Try to find the Turn on original sound choice and activate it. That will improve the sound at your end.
