This is a time when we're all aware of
what matters most.
After the events of Holy Week, the disciples are devastated. They are in the midst of full-blown grief and disbelief. Into the heart of that grief came a stunning revelation–life had overcome death. God’s faithfulness would build them up once again–will bind them together. Is this possible in our lives? This series' worship will say, “Yes, it can! Come and see! Live and love! This is the heart of the matter!”
Originally designed at the very genesis of the Covid-19 pandemic, this series highlighted the Acts scriptures that describe the early Christian community's worship in the temple and around their tables at home. They shared what they had with "glad and generous hearts."
In this season of continuing uncertainty and unrest, this series offers a way to engage people, affirming the support we give one another in hard times. Because it was originally conceived for people to gather around their tables during the at-home lock-down in 2020, this series is now adapted for use around tables in the sanctuary if you have flexible seating, or in the fellowship hall, or outside. It draws on the wisdom of the "dinner church" movement that reminds us that worship can happen in many ways. This could be a fun Easter Season or summer alternative, or used in small at-home dinner groups. Adapt for whatever context works best for your community!
Here's what's included in the series:
• Eight fully-scripted worship experiences from Easter Sunday through Pentecost, including all words, tips for music, flow and timing (all adaptable to your context)
• Intergenerational Engagement ideas for all ages
• "Have Goodwill" community outreach ideas
• Visual and Media Arts Ideas
• A self-led at-home version of the materials that can be led by anyone ready to adapt to your context and time of year
