This service at St. Matthew’s begins with a warm welcome and the beloved hymn “Amazing Grace.” The Holy Communion service opens with a call to God’s presence and includes prayers of confession, the Collect for Peace, and readings from Jeremiah, Hebrews, and the Gospel of Mark, recounting the healing of Bartimaeus. The congregation joins in prayers for the community, global peace, and those in need. The service concludes with the hymn “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds,” a final blessing, and a call to go forth in peace.
