Sunday Worship

Dec. 28, 2025

Welcome to Blacknall Memorial Presbyterian Church! Sunday worship is the heart of our life at Blacknall. Every Sunday we gather to celebrate Jesus Christ as our Lord. Join us for in-person worship Sunday at 11 a.m. Services include many elements of a traditional Christian liturgy, such as confession and weekly communion by intinction (bread dipped in a communal cup). There is also a time of informal sharing and prayer. Read FAQs about our services to learn more.

Livestream Service (11 a.m.)

In the event that the livestream fails to start or stops working, we will upload a recording of the worship service here as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!

In the ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine, we pray for the peace and protection for the people of Gaza, for all who are suffering, and for those who have lost loved ones. We give thanks and pray for the fragile ceasefire and for lasting peace in this region.
We pray for the Democratic Republic of Congo and for our mission partners in Beni and Bunia, for their safety, and for enduring peace in the entire region.
We pray for our president and other world leaders that they would make decisions that are right and that would make for peace and justice.

Life Together

We pray for all who are traveling in this season for safe travels. We pray for families as they gather that they would be strengthened in their love and care for one another. We pray for any who are alone during the holidays that they would be remembered and they would know the Lord’s nearness.
We thank God and pray for Kristin Stults in her role as Financial Administrator, with gratitude for the ways she helps us be good stewards of our financial resources.
