The Collegiate Worship Service took place at the Van Wickle House on Aug 24th. More than 100 people from Highland Park, First and Second Reformed Churches – and even Aurea, our church secretary from Suydam Street Church, came with her three grandchildren. Pastor Doug Shepler preached, and Seth Kaper-Dale and Kyle Delhagen (student at NBTS) also led the liturgy. The children sang some of the Vacation Bible School songs and our Viktoriya along with Anna from the Highland Park Church provided incredible music. Of course, the worship service was followed by several tables groaning with food. A BIG THANK YOU goes to Lauren, Gary, and Josh Bernhofer for bringing First Reformed Church’s grill over and grilling for several hours. For the first time in many years people enjoyed a great meal, and this showed by how long people stayed afterwards.
