Peter Jonker will consider particularly how finding a controlling image is a powerful tool for propelling a sermon forward and for speaking to the listener’s imagination. Mary Hulst will help preachers recover basic tools that will keep sermons from going off the rails (and how to put them back on the rails in case things start going bad on any given week!). This seminar will be practical and focused on the wonderful, if challenging, task of proclaiming God’s Word to God’s people.
Participants: Mary Hulst and Peter Jonker, moderated by Scott Hoezee
A podcast from Calvin University featuring thoughtful leaders discussing key topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the context of Christian life and witness.
Come and join a conversation with knowledgeable and experienced preachers and worship planners as we talk about our best practices for Holy Week worship planning. Bring your questions and ideas as we share and learn together.
Music and prayer are prominent elements in worship liturgy. How does the culture of the worship community influence these worship practices? How should we engage culture and yet be countercultural in our practice of music and prayer? Engage with this panel from four continents as we explore how cultural values form and inform worship practices.

Congregations, pastors, and parents/caregivers have many opportunities to join together in worship and prayer practices that more intentionally engage children and help them come to know and love God and grow in faith together. Panelists will discuss ways to intentionally create intergenerational community in which people of all ages, including children, are welcomed as full participants whose participation enriches the community and gives praise to God.
