The service today began and ended under cloudy skies with a period of strong showers, thunder, lightning and two brief intervals of power loss during the service. As a result, the surviving recording of the service begins near the end of the time for prayer concerns. On this page, I've used recordings for the online service in place of ones from the church service that were lost.
