On July 3 we started our joint services with Church of the Good Shepherd Anglican (GSA); please bring your QR code and wear a mask. All summer services will be in person and start at 9:30 a.m. TUC will continue to also record worship and send out the you tube link to both TUC and GSA. GSA will offer services on Zoom – the service will only be available on Zoom at the time of the service. The link will be sent in the regular Thursday worship email but will not be active until Sunday just before the 9:30 service. GSA offers Eucharist/Communion in all their services. You are encouraged to “prepare you own table” at home with bread, juice, perhaps a candle if desired, to make a sacred place. You are encouraged to visit outside following the service. The GSA services will not be available through Sermon by phone. However, you can join in the service by phone by calling a local number 204-272-7920.
