Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Walker O holy and merciful God, we confess that we have not always taken upon ourselves the yoke of obedience, nor been willing to seek and to do your perfect will. We have not loved you with all our heart and mind and soul and strength, neither have we loved our neighbors as ourselves. You have called to us in the need of our sisters and brothers, and we have passed unheeding on our way. In the pride of our hearts, and our unwillingness to repent, we have turned away from the cross of Christ, and have grieved your Holy Spirit. All offer prayers of confession in silence.

Chapel Bells-Do you have musical talents and want to serve the Lord in a new way? Why not ring handbells? We have an opening in our handbell choir and also need substitute ringers. If you can read music, you can ring bells! Did you know that playing handbells…. - stimulates the brain and builds up memory (it engages your brain - you are constantly thinking) - boosts auditory skills - improves your communication skills Besides that, it’s lots of fun! If you are interested, please contact Ann Montgomery at (850.902.2259).
