"Jesus Sought Me When a Stranger"
Led by: David Gambrell
How strange (and wonderful) a thing that Christ is with us when we sing! The 2022 Routley Lectures will consider the strangeness of congregational song, reflecting on the unexpected encounters with God and surprising gifts of the Spirit that come when we make music together as the body of Christ. CEU PAM Cert I.1
4:30 pm: Preaching Seminar
"Matthew 25 - Stories from the Street"
Led by: Aisha Brooks-Johnson
Sermons are filled with theological reflection and practical application. Sermon illustrations bring to life the truth of God's word in tangible and tactile ways. It is important to remember how to pay attention with all of our senses as we discover God's message in real time and in unlikely places. During our time together, we will explore the art of finding surprising sermon illustrations in a diverse and digital age. Remember, your next sermon illustration is either a click, a blink, or a breath away!
7:30 pm: Evening Events
Monday: Organ Recital featuring Samuel Gaskin
Tuesday: Youth Talent Show
Wednesday: Hymn Festival, led by David Gambrell
