Click here for the virtual bulletin. If we were able to hold this service in our building, the lights would be off, and we’d all listen to the readings with a candle in our hands, almost as if we were gathering around a campfire for beloved stories. To add to this illusion, we would not have the text in front of us, relying more upon listening. To recreate that feeling, the texts to the individual readings are omitted from the bulletin, but if it would be helpful to you to have them, click the Download button for a printable PDF all of tonight’s texts.
