Over the weekend of Oct. 20-21, the Board
of Deacons hosted discussions to plan the shape of our worship
services for the future, in readiness for our return to our
renovated church. These discussions were led by the Rev. Dr.
Hale Schroer from St. Louis, MO. Many issues were considered
including developing an inviting and welcoming service,
children's needs, inclusive language and spirituality.
On Sat., Oct. 20, the opening session from
9-11 a.m. featured a keynote address by Dr. Schroer with some
discussion time. Discussions included a theology of
worship, why we do what we do, and advice on the kind of worship
that appeals to new persons. In the afternoon, the focus was on
children and worship, and children and communion. |
