Remembrance Sunday

2020 has been particularly difficult for everyone who has lost a loved one, either through COVID-19 or for other reasons. STL will be using our worship services on Sunday, November 22 to address our grief with the hope we have in Christ. Along with listing the names of loved ones lost in 2020, all who worship with us in-person will be invited to place a carnation on the altar during a special time of meditation and prayer in the service.
