Sunday Helpers

If you're not singing this Sunday, regular rehearsals begin next week. Tuesday 4:30-6pm for Women's Choir, Wednesday 4:30-6pm for Concert Choir.

If you are singing this Sunday, thank you SO much for volunteering your talents to North & Southampton Reformed Church! :)

Please arrive by 8:55am so we can get you a robe.

The address is:
1380 Bristol Road
Churchville (Southampton), PA 18966

It is just next to the Churchville Inn, at the intersection of Bristol Road and Bustleton Pike/Churchville Lane.

Here are the lyrics to the anthem:

Draw us in the Spirit’s tether; For when humbly, in thy name,
Two or three are met together, Thou are in the midst of them:
Alleluya!
Touch we now thy garment’s hem.

As the brethren used to gather in the name of Christ to sup,
Then with thanks to God the Father break the bread and bless the cup,
Alleluya!
So knit thou our friendship up.

All our meals and all our living make as sacraments of thee,
That by caring, helping, giving, we may true disciples be.
Alleluya!
We will serve thee faithfully.

Also, we will sing just before and just after the service.

Introit (Gathering) Lyrics:

As we gather at your Table, as we listen to your Word,
help us know, O God, your presence; let our hearts and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story till we claim it as our own;
teach us through this holy banquet how to make Love's victory known.

Benediction (Closing) Lyrics:
Go forth for God, go to the world in peace;
be of good courage, armed with heavenly grace,
in God's good Spirit daily to increase,
till in the kingdom we see face to face.
Go forth for God, go to the world in peace.
