We’ve all been there or will be—planning worship when things just aren’t the way they are supposed to be. Tension and even conflict will happen in every church at some point.

In this seminar we will examine the common dynamics at play in such situations, how to plan and lead worship wisely in the midst of them, and how to design worship that is hospitable to the Spirit’s work of reconciliation.

Participants: Denise Posie, Kathy Smith, and Cecil VanNiejenhuis, moderated by Joyce Borger
