For the three Sundays from Aug 20-Sept 3, there were no online services and the church services were not recorded. Pastor Ralph did make recordings of his sermon, as he normally does for the online service, and sent copies to those who receive notices about the weekly services. Those recordings were used for the next three entries of this page of sermons so there will be no gaps in the ongoing Holy Spirit School series of sermons.
