(day five of PSfA/EW)
You may register any of these workshops individually, or participate in all of them as part of
“Practicing Skills for Alternative/Emerging Worship”
In our church congregations rituals mark significant moments, bring spiritual presence to times of change and transition, and transform ordinary actions into holy, intimate, spiritual meaning. Ritual, artfully expressed, provides a lens through which persons ‘see God’. Rituals remind us; rituals help us remember significance in our lives; rituals help form communities. This culminating day of the five-day “Practicing Skills” cluster combines storytelling and metaphor as participants develop and practice new rituals to use in worship and other ministries. 8:30am-2pm. $99 includes breakfast and lunch.
