Presbyterians Today
Churches are transforming their previously-unused lawns, fields and property into community gardens, food forests and other outdoor sanctuaries.
There is often ambiguity about what deacons do. Some Presbyterian churches are taking another look at this ministry and redefining it to meet their needs.
Fort Collins church encourages it members to bike to church because it’s good for their health and it’s good for the Earth.
Reparation is the idea that public acknowledgment and economic recompense must be made to the descendants of those who were held in slavery.
North Carolina teens came up with the idea for a prayer tree on their church’s front lawn to let the community know that they weren’t alone in the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are only just beginning to process the impact COVID-19 will have on our ministries. How do we continue to be faithful in serving God’s children?
In a time of pandemic and social distancing, how do we understand ourselves as the church when we can’t meet in person?
As a pastor, I am fielding calls now about getting back into our sanctuary for worship. It seems this desire to get back to “normal” is becoming the new virus sweeping the nation. In a way I can understand the longing to return to worship in a sanctuary. I have a rural congregation with older members who have not been all that quick to embrace virtual worship. I’ll admit, though, I’m in no hurry to return to traditional church. I find something exciting in what God is doing with video devotionals and sermons.
Controlled breathing, coupled with a short sacred phrase, is a relaxing and spiritual practice that is especially well-suited to this time of pandemic.
As a new way of being the church emerges in this time of pandemic, the May/June issue of Presbyterians Today helps congregations navigate these changing times and embrace the opportunities that change presents.
