Preparation for Worship: It is a good thing to come into the House of God, to leave for a time the daily routine of life, to re-examine our priorities, to view the way we live in this world from the perspective of the Kingdom of God. Yes it really is a good thing to come into the House of God! Ushers: July Ushers: August
