Invitational Sermon Series for February 2019
for all North Coast District Churches
|
Just Mercy: Conversations to Spark a Redemptive Movement
invites clergy and congregations to face the most pressing challenges in our communities, tell the truth about our fears and shortcomings, and take meaningful action together. Anchored in scripture and organized around principles outlined by author and teacher Bryan Stevenson, this
4-week series provides an opportunity for us to learn and grow together as a unified community of Christ-followers in the North Coast District.
Materials for each week (February 3, 10, 17, and 24) will include exegesis of the lectionary texts, preaching ideas, music suggestions, graphics/projection templates, liturgy, prayers, ideas for children/families, recommendations for continuing the conversation in your congregation, and additional resources.
All materials will be FREE and available in print at both Charge Conferences on November 10
. You may pick up materials at that time or sign up to receive resources digitally.
While we would love for every church to embrace this series in its entirety, we understand that some churches have planned their calendars well into 2019. We invite you to use as many or as few of the resources as you are able in your context. A weekly prayer, call to worship, or offertory focus would be welcome and encouraged.
