October Event Highlight: A Conversation on Embodied Worship |
 | On Sunday, October 17, we had Andrea Tisher facilitate a conversation on Embodied Worship. Ideas were shared on how faith communities were re-engaging in being present at a physical church building: switching up seating so people could see one another's faces (much like during Zoom times), changing liturgy after almost 18 months of being absent from a building (suddenly tradition wasn't so important), new ways of serving communion, embracing visual and musical contributions that were not so readily available during our virtual services, and more. Eight BC CRC churches were involved in this conversation! |
