There is no video of this service. It was Zoom-only due to a storm-related power outage in Strafford. You can read the essential text, scripture passages and bulletin announcements below. The music you will see in the bulletin will be used in the service next week which will have similar Lenten themes.

January 14, 2023 Martha Manheim Memorial Service
The Zoom audio for this service was terrible, but fortunately we recorded the service by another means as well. It still is far from perfect—it has many blips and ticks—but you can hear very clearly the entire service. We hope to collect the written texts from the many speakers where possible and include them below the video. If you are interested in seeing them, check back for future additions. Thank you!

We did not record the live Zoom service this week, so we missed the inspiring Martin Luther King Jr. Sunday music by Annemieke McLane and Becky Bailey. Here is one song from our archives to give you a sense of what we heard:
And here is the spoken part of the service:
