As per our current Covid plan, for those churches interested in participating, every other week our simplechurches will assemble on their own - either via zoom (instructions below) or in another setting. As these are unusual times, to assist the churches in a simple gathering, Andy will prepare a guide that churches can use to facilitate the gathering.  It will mimic what we do online... you'll just do it yourself!

Liturgy | The Work of the People

Did you know that's what the word means? The word liturgy comes from the ancient Greek (Greek: λειτουργία), leitourgia, and it literally means "work for the people." It is a blending of the two words "litos ergos" or "public service."

The idea is that this is the "work" we do. The liturgy, these "ancient rhythms," are the work we do. They are the service we offer to each other and the Lord. It's the way we participate in worship!

Neat, huh?  So, enjoy your work together!

How to do this?

Simple.  Download the file below and choose the venue. Online, or otherwise. The first week your church leader can facilitate... but feel free to pass the facilitating around in the future. 

This Week: Decisions, Decisions.

This Sunday marks the 7th Sunday (and last Sunday) of Easter. Next week the church celebrates Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit.  

Today the Church reads the opening of the story of Acts.  Jesus has ascended to his Father and now the disciples are left in Jerusalem to wait for the Holy Spirit. While there, praying as they are, they also have a big decision to make. 

Once again, Andy has made a video to accompany the reading.
