This article was published when RW was still primarily a subscription-model print magazine. Starting in 2025 all RW resources have been made available for free online with no subscription required.

Services Available on Disk

Beginning with this issue of Reformed Worship, we will make available a computer disk containing services and liturgies found in each issue. The disk will be formatted in MS-DOS on an IBM-compatible computer, and files will be saved in both WordPerfect 4.2 and ASCII. If you would like to try it, send $10.00 US (or $12.00 CDN) along with your name and address, and indicate whether you would like a 5.25" or 3.5" disk. Services and liturgies from prior issues of RW are not available on computer disk.

Sanctuary Sculpture

Members of Salem Covenant Church in New Brighton, Minnesota, pass under the sculpture pictured below when entering and leaving church. A note in the bulletin reads: "The sculpture in the rear of the sanctuary, created by artist Neale Murray and given in memory of Rev. Paul Stohlberg, symbolizes the presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of the congregation. It represents a descending dove which anoints us as we enter beneath it and is an unseen presence among us as we worship together. As we leave the sanctuary, the Spirit also stands before us as we go forth in His name to serve the world."
