Holy Communion 101 with James Hamilton (ChurchNext)
Holy Communion is the Christian “Thanksgiving.” It is this act of thanksgiving that Jesus commanded us to perform, in remembrance of God’s gift of salvation through Christ’s death and resurrection. It is the “family meal” shared by Christians, an act of communion– of sharing as a community– and an act of faith. If you are a member of a liturgical Protestant church, chances are you celebrate Holy Communion regularly, and yet you may be unfamiliar with the rich layers of tradition and meaning in this sacrament.
Source: ChurchNext
In this course the Reverend James Hamilton, Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Farmington Hills, Michigan, walks us through each prayer, act, chant, and moment of Holy Communion, explaining their history and significance in fascinating detail. You will learn why we do what we do, and this knowledge will deepen, enrich, and renew your worship experience.

Introducing Lutheran Worship with Don Kreiss (ChurchNext)
Lutheran worship has a rich and joyful history of forming vibrant communities that have lasting impacts on the world around them.
In this course, Lutheran (ELCA) bishop Don Kreiss helps us understand the foundation of the most common worship service: the Sunday Holy Eucharist by telling us how this experience is broken into four movements Gather, Word, Meal and Send.
Course: ChurchNext
Gather refers to the coming together of worshippers. Word describes the centrality of hearing the scripture and a sermon. Meal highlights the importance weekly communion plays in Lutheran worship. And Send reminds us of the central place of mission in the church.
This course is perfect for those who are new to the Lutheran Church as well as those who have been members for a long time.

Introducing Episcopal Worship with James Hamilton (ChurchNext)
Why does Sunday morning Episcopal worship look like it does? What’s happening? From the Processional Hymn to the Bible readings, the sermon, and Holy Communion – why do Episcopalians do what they do?
Source: ChurchNext
The Episcopal liturgy is rich in tradition and symbolism, but it can also be a bit overwhelming to a visitor unfamiliar with the service. Even those who attend Episcopal services may regularly forget the meaning and significance of the liturgy. For instance, why is the service structured the way it is? What’s the meaning of the various prayers? Why are there three readings? What is the purpose of the hymns? What is Communion all about?
The Reverend James Hamilton is Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Farmington Hills, Michigan. His background in literature, art, and theatre enables him to explain the abundant meaning of Episcopal worship in accessible and inspiring ways.

Introducing Christian Baptism with Anne Kitch (ChurchNext)
There may be no more transformative moment in one’s life than one’s baptism.
