Call for General Synod 35 worship and choir volunteers

Want to be a part of General Synod in a more meaningful way? There is an opportunity to do that in Kansas City. Registered attendees of General Synod 35 may join the General Synod choir, or volunteer to participate in movement and drama teams to help enliven the worship experience. Those interested should contact Cheryl Lindsay, minister for Worship and Theology at lindsayc@ucc.org to sign-up. There will be zoom rehearsals prior to General Synod as well as onsite during the gathering. 

“I always love to hear, see, and recognize as many different people participating in worship leadership as possible. Liturgy literally means work of the people, and our worship gatherings should reflect that,” said Lindsay. “Participation by the entire congregation we create at General Synod reminds us of our connectedness and forges the church as a community. We get to experience the kindom realized in this way. Worship leadership that reflects the immense diversity of the United Church of Christ celebrates and honors the One who prayed ‘that they may all be one.'”

In addition, the General Synod Worship Planning Community will release a digital, companion resource, Go Deeper, in the first week of July with devotionals, contemplative practices, poetry, Living Psalms, music, and more for local church use during and after General Synod.

This resource connects those at General Synod and those at home as will the themes for Sermon Seeds and Worship Ways throughout the month of July. Finally, for pastors needing pulpit supply during General Synod (or another Sunday), Lindsay has recorded a sermon that may be used in its entirety in the local church. All of these resources may be found through the Sermon Seeds and Worship Ways main pages on ucc.org.

Registration for General Synod 35 is OPEN now.
