Worship Matters: Episode 117 – Resources for October and All Saints
In this episode, the Worship Team introduces the October Worship Series, Choosing Faith. Faith is a multilayered reality that is part gift and part effort. The October series invites us to consider how we as individuals and a community understand and live out faith in our daily lives. The team also makes note that October has other events for our attention, including World Communion, Children’s Sabbath, and Laity Sunday. Do we set aside the series in favor of these events, or can we somehow blend them together? Then the standalone All Saints Sunday resources can help your local church celebrate this amazing event. Join us for this helpful podcast.
In this episode, Dr. Derek Weber, Director of Preaching Ministries, has a conversation with the Rev. Dr. Reginald Lee, Senior Pastor of Hartsville Cooperative Parish in the South Carolina Annual Conference, and consultant to Hey Preacher. The main topic of conversation is the upcoming Bridging Visions 2, an event designed to help preachers bridge the prophetic and the pastoral in their preaching. It will be held January 15-17, at the North Georgia Conference Center in Duluth, Georgia. Watch for more details!
