You can join the service on YouTube!

The order of service is available here.
Having it handy will make it easier to join in more fully–includes the words to the hymns, the readings & all of the responses. It also has prayers that you may wish to use as those physically present receive the eucharist. This is the eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost. Sundays and Seasons offers this reflection on the gospel we hear:
Today we hear James warn against selfish ambition, while the disciples quarrel over which one of them is the greatest. Jesus tells them the way to be great is to serve. Then, to make it concrete, he puts in front of them a flesh-and-blood child. We are called to welcome the children God puts in front of us, to make room for them in daily interaction, and to give them a place of honour in the assembly.
