WorshipFest is part of Embodied Worship in Today’s Church – A MESOM June Intensive
What makes Christian worship worshipful? What does it look and sound and feel like in today’s church? How is “worship” done in different settings of church life? How does a congregation’s worship form and transform us as faithful people?
As a United Church of Christ we strive to be inclusive. In our rapidly changing, multicultural world, how can we incorporate those values in our worship experiences?
Come be part of this Maine School of Ministry course to discover and experience embodying tradition outside the box.
At Pilgrim Lodge on Saturday, June 7th from 9:00-4:00, participants will create various worship experiences to share with each other. We are celebrating WorshipFest to involve the creativity of current clergy and invite worship leaders who want to come take part in community building and broadening our practice of holding space for the Holy.
Those who are enrolled with MESOM have a two-week online student experience before and after attending WorshipFest. Students will have the opportunity to interact in a Zoom classroom settings well as attend the Pilgrim Lodge retreat from Friday, June 6 at 2:00 p.m. through Saturday, June 7 at 4:00 p.m.
