Grace and peace to you, from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ! The phrase, “The Road to Damascus” has come to represent an epiphanal moment, a time when a person undergoes significant change due to sudden realization. In our lesson for this Sunday, we read about how Saul, a renowned persecutor of those who followed Jesus, meets the risen Christ. His life is changed, and so are ours as a result. That we can have new insights that open us to greater love at any time is a gift, and we celebrate that gift in our worship this week.
Blessings and peace, Lisa.
p.s. Don’t forget our hymn sing with George Emlen in the sanctuary at 4:00 Sunday afternoon!

Worship Service
To join us for worship via Zoom, please use the following information.
It is not necessary to set up a Zoom account before the call. If you’d like to, it is free and pretty self-explanatory. You can set up your account at www.zoom.us.
Whether or not you choose to set up an account, when it’s time for the meeting, click the following link:
The Zoom Link is: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86457246267
Meeting ID: 864 5724 6267
Passcode: 834494
In order to sign in to the call, you will need to download Zoom. Your computer / device should prompt you to do so. When you sign in, you may need to choose your audio source, and choose to sign in via video.
Also, if your computer or device does not have a camera, you won’t be able to use the video option, and though you should still be able to see other participants, they won’t be able to see you. Zoom does work well on iPhone, iPad, and probably other smart phones, so that’s an option if your computer has no camera.
If you have never used Zoom before, please give yourself plenty of time to get set up. It takes a few minutes to download Zoom, get signed in, adjust audio and video as needed, etc.
If you are interested in calling into the worship service by telephone, you may dial the following phone number: 646-558-8656. When prompted, enter the Meeting ID and Password. Please note that this is a long-distance phone call, but this may be a good option for those unable to join via computer.
