Experience worship services in person or from your home
We are open for in-person worship. Following the guidelines of Santa Clara County, the wearing of masks is optional. Of course, those who wish to wear masks for any reason may do so. We currently still refrain from close personal contact (like handshakes or hugs) and instead greet each other with elbow bumps or other similarly sanitary means. It is heartwarming to see so many of our church community again!
Recorded services are also available through our Worship blog. (See below for the most recent services.) This blog includes a full recording of the services when available.

November 27, 2022 – “Characters of Advent: Isaiah” During Advent (the four Sundays before Christmas) and on the Sunday following Christmas, we will be looking at the Christmas story from the perspective of various characters within the story. Today, on the first Sunday of Advent, Pastor Linda tells the story of Isaiah, a Jewish prophet from about 700 BCE. Following several major wars, he provided hope for a peaceful future. His words are still quoted today as a promise of Jesus’s presence with us. During the service we also have a “Good Morning Morgan Hill” interview with “Isaiah”!

November 20, 2022 – “The Gift of Gratitude” How can we be thankful at a time when there are so many bad things happening? In the middle of the devastating American Civil War, Pres. Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day, to give thanks for the good that was still happening outside of the military conflict. In today’s message, Pastor Linda encourages us to take time to show gratitude, as it can change our attitude!

November 13, 2022 – “Baffle the Ill Wind” According to an old English proverb, “it’s an ill wind that blows no good.” How do we deal with life, and find peace, when it seems that an “ill wind” is blowing so much of the time? Our guest speaker Tahiya Marome shares with us techniques to “baffle” (or break the force of) the “ill wind.”
