Mattapoisett Congregational Church212 viewsMattapoisett Congregational Church held outdoor service on Sunday featuring “Bring your own lawn chair,” as some folks sat in cars at curbside. No hymns were sung by members; the socially distant, mask-clad crowd enjoyed musical tunes by Jake Huntsinger, and Pastor Amy Lignitz-Harken gave the sermon. Communion was served from individual sealed wafers and wine cups (grape juice). The recorded service can be found on ORCTV and on the church’s Facebook link to YouTube.
