Intergenerational Worship (United Church of Canada)
At its worst, intergenerational services become a congregation’s way to showcase their young people. At its best intergenerational services create transformational experience that people of different cultures can share together.
This webinar defines intergenerational services as intercultural worship spaces, where each generation brings and shares their own cultural learning to the corporal experience. With this understanding, we will explore ways of creating cross-culture experiences in worship that attempt to connect generational gaps. We will explore ways of honouring and respecting this cultural diversity by becoming more aware of the common developmental stages and cultural trends of different age groups within the worshiping community and discussing how this knowledge can be applied to creating meaningful and engaging worship experiences.

Preaching Through Advent
Issues of entitlement spring fresh in December. Depression slips over the landscape like North Atlantic fog. In the midst of this, the ecstatic expressions of Zechariah, Mary and Elizabeth – not to mention an angel – shake the boots off us and send us running for cover. How do we make these stories matter for people who take time to show up at church? What’s the difference between preaching and just words? How do we use poetry as a tool for change? Let’s come to the Christmas Eve feast nourished by a wholesome breakfast.

The Indispensable Church (United Church of Canada)
The church seems an unlikely place for this endeavour. Isn’t church the stronghold of all that is old and out of date? On the contrary, church is precisely the institution needed for these unprecedented times.
The changes we face demand new modes of seeing, thinking and caring. In other words, these changes require our consciousness to evolve. The church is the indispensable institution for this task. For the church has truly unique resources. Besides our efforts to shape morality and foster social justice, the church “owns” our culture’s great meaning-making Story; society invites us to change people to the depth of their souls; we have time; and we have trusting, engaged communities that provide the ideal setting for evolving consciousness.
The question is, how can we make use of these precious resources? We need a map. In this webinar, Tom will present an overview of the integral map and how it can be used to off our indispensable gifts.
