A Welcoming Church Family Exploring Progressive Christian Theology

Ankeny UCC is Reading Scripture

July 6, 2016 by Pastor Nathan

Worship 101 continues this week with the part of worship we may most take for granted: Scripture. Our readings for this week tell of the importance of scripture to the re-formation of Israel after the Babylonian exile. One of our theological ancestors, John Calvin, thought the Word ought to be the center of worship. How do we do that? How do we choose scriptures, and why? How do we read scriptures in worship, and why?

Come and find out.

PS: Our final sermon in Worship 101 is on the topic of Hymns, July 24. We also want to make a big poster for DMARC as we come together to fill our local food pantry shelves for August, traditionally their worst month. So July 24, bring your coloring hands, pictures of foods, drawings of food, and any small helpers you might know!

Blessings,
Nathan
