Looking for ways to breathe new life into your Advent and Christmas season preaching? Join this workshop with Anna Carter Florence and Jake Myers from Columbia Theological Seminary, and explore the upcoming lectionary texts together, with a special emphasis on Luke 1.
We’ll discover some new strategies for reading Scripture that are easy to grasp and easy to adapt to your context. We’ll move from text to sermon, as we consider what the familiar stories might have to say to us this year. We’ll talk about some images of the preacher to spur thought and conversation. And we’ll share roundtable conversation about how the light of the world might be illuminating our own congregations and our own lives, as preachers.
Sponsored by the CTS Preachers’ Studio for Renewal, this one-day event will be a lively and energizing deep dive into Scripture and your own preaching ministry. The workshop is limited to the first 35 registrants.
