This will be a very practical, “nuts and bolts” session on preaching. We will discuss various forms for effective sermons, resources for preaching, preaching weddings, funerals and holiday and how to use new technology in sermons. How does one develop his or her own style as a preacher? You will also learn how to better listen to sermons and offer meaningful feedback to other preachers.
The most exciting part of this workshop is that you will be invited to prepare and preach a 7-10 minute sermon (so we can hear everyone and to practice our focusing skills). You will receive positive feedback and insights on the things you are doing effectively and gain some insight into how you can take your preaching to a higher level. In addition to the preaching workshop, we will also have conversation about the LMEP program, what we might do for the remainder of the year and the changes that are in store for Licensed Ministry in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
