Over the summer, Westminster Presbyterian Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, put service into its worship service.
The Rev. Chris Peters, Westminster’s head of staff, offered a monthlong “When Life Shows Up to Church” preaching series by considering the question, “What do we do when the storms of life show up to church?”
Hundreds of individuals from the Kansas City, Missouri, metro area woke up one autumn morning and instead of putting on their Sunday best, they dressed in work clothes, boots and gloves; gathered rakes, scissors, knitting needles and casserole dishes; and drove to church to worship in a different way.
