Every Sunday during worship, creative people do excellent work. Pastors preach the text and lead the liturgy, musicians provide instrumental and choral music, educators shepherd children, and artists work on visual arts and other creative experiences that heighten everyone's sense of worship. However, without careful attention, the worship event can become a collection of pieces rather than a glorious whole. Churches of every size can invite clergy and laity to join together and create a service that inspires with its unity, harmony, and variety. Led by artist Ellen Phillips, this workshop was a time to explore collaborative methods as well as to share ideas for the art of worship.
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.
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.
What is the role of preaching in situations of deep conflict and division? How can preaching participate in the Christian call to peacemaking? This panel will explore the connections between gospel preaching and peacemaking efforts.

This session will explore how to talk about differences in Catholic and Protestant worship. Every time we talk with a neighbor, teammate, or coworker from a different Christian tradition about what we do in worship and why, we are practicing liturgical theology.
