With the month’s fifth Sunday approaching, local residents can look forward to attending the Worship on the Water program.
This Worship on the Water program will be from 2-3 p.m. Sunday at Schelben Park in downtown Greenville.
Every fifth Sunday in a month, Mayor Errrick Simmons hosts an interfaith, interracial faith service.
This service is a part of the faith-based race-reconciliation initiative, which is nationally recognized. The goal of the worship service is to foster community and promote unity.
Simmons said this service is designed to bring people together.
“This faith-based racial reconciliation initiative is purposed on bringing people together regardless of racial identity or religious affiliation. Psalm 100 demands us to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. On the fifth Sunday of every month, we are asking the residents and citizens to come worship at the water and make a joyful noise together in corporate worship,” Simmons said.
The speaker for this event will be Father Thomas Mullally, who has been ordained as a priest in the religious order of the Society of the Divine Word since Dec. 19, 1970, and he is currently the pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Greenville. There, he has instilled in his congregation to restore the image of Christ in man mentally, spiritually, socially and physically through the good news of the gospel and the incarnated love of Christ for mankind.
Mullally said he looks forward to being a part and worshipping with everyone in attendance.
“I feel like it’s an honor. Usually I’m very busy Sundays but they asked me in advance and I was able to attend. I look forward to being apart of this event,” he said.
