This shift is delivered in person by the More Than Sunday team. Materials for this session are available upon request.
More and more we are discovering that being followers of Jesus isn’t confined to church buildings or traditional church-related activities. The reality is that most of us live out our faith in the everyday stuff of life in a huge variety of different contexts. However, when we gather in communal worship, we often don’t get chance to share the stories and experiences of our everyday faith, or get the opportunity to the make connections between our gathered and scattered lives.
A simple shift to address this could be the use of This Time Tomorrow (TTT). A practice that offers the opportunity during our gathered worship to hear from an individual, family or group about their everyday faith lives and contexts. This can be done each week through short two-to-three-minute interviews or even shared in smaller groups if people are comfortable, but it generally helps to follow three simple questions:
- Where will you be at this time tomorrow?
- What challenges and opportunities do you face?
- How can we pray for you?
TTT is a great way to build up people’s confidence as we acknowledge and celebrate together how God is interested in each of our everyday lives and how he wants to use us in these contexts.
