This shift is delivered in person by the More Than Sunday team. Materials for this session are available upon request.
Worship, preaching and teaching are amongst the most significant ways that churches have been able to focus their attention on what’s going on throughout the week. We believe in a God who is concerned about all of life, and teach from a Bible that centres on life in all its fullness. After all, if 95% of the life of a church community is scattered beyond the times we gather to worship, or put on events, how can the 5% that is spent in gathered church activities, successfully frame, inform and impact our #MoreThanSunday lives?
“Go in peace, to love and serve the Lord.” The familiar words of a dismissal from a gathered service, highlight just this point. That what has ‘just happened’ in our worship - all that has been shared, taught, experienced and prayed about - is actually intended to be taken out well beyond our gatherings. To “go in peace” means we are to carry the presence of Christ into the world, bringing God’s transforming touch to every aspect of our lives, #MoreThanSunday.
