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.
