Discipleship Sundays
Worship is more than listening to Rick talk for an hour each week. We've always tried to make the journey a place for community and connection, but recently we wondered, what else can be worship?
This led to our experimental "Discipleship Sundays;" weeks when we'd take a break from the usual sermon format and try something a little bit new... or a little bit old.
These are only occasional, but they've included spending the morning cleaning up the greenway by our church, packing bags of essentials for the unhoused people in our community--an extension of our work with HOPE--and more introspective ideas like our "Sanctus" prayer time or the "Backyard Pilgrim" outdoor excercise, where we encouraged our friends and neighbours to spend some time out in nature and experience God in the wider world.
