Blacknall

Sunday Worship

April 6, 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. Our 8:30 a.m. and 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.

Livestream Service (8:30 a.m.)

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