The Peoples’ Sermon: Preaching as a Ministry of the Whole Congregation
November 3, 2021: 10:00 -11:30 am by Zoom
Preaching is an ecclesial practice that is the work of the whole congregation and not only the preacher. This workshop will encourage and equip participants to encourage and equip all the baptized to fulfill their roles as proclaimers of God’s good news. Understanding and engaging the collaborative nature of preaching will revive your preaching and your congregation’s participation.
