This Week’s Service Pre-Recorded – No In-Person/Livestream
Pastor Alex is taking next week off. Except for one Sunday last March when we had no service at all, this is his first Sunday off since 2019! Because of this, today’s service is pre-recorded and posted on Facebook and at wardhillchurch.org. There is no in-person or livestream service here at Ward Hill, but we invite you to worship with the pre-recorded service. If you wish to worship in-person or live online, we encourage you to visit a local church (for livestream, we recommend Park Street Church – parkstreet.org/live). Pastor Alex appreciates the time off and looks forward to being with everyone again on Sunday, July 4!
