Laity Sunday 2022 Resources
Laity Sunday is October 16, and gives us a chance to celebrate the ministry of all Christians to love God and neighbor. As we (the people) grow in grace to become “all love” disciples in community, we gather with others and connect all to God’s love in Jesus Christ.
Sabbath Sunday Sermons
Time off is essential to remaining healthy and effective in ministry. We've recorded three sermons for you to use in your local church. We hope you'll utilize this resource to take a Sunday off from preaching. Additionally, we're offering the option for churches to request a customized full worship service.
