Leader - Teresa J. Stewart

Explore two small-setting worship strengths. Each builds upon the participation advantage. Each creates a new expression for your community. And each is rooted in practices of the Early Church. In this webinar, you’ll learn to shift worship from observation to collaboration with two powerful practices.

1) Worshiping with Conversation: Worship itself is a conversation--a call and response with God and the gathered. Discover how to include actual conversation to deepen worship.

2) Contact: Liturgy is literally the work of the people. Explore practices that put worshipers to work with hands-on, full-body, creative, collaboration. Registration includes a guide and planning form for each of these strengths. With examples for an upcoming liturgical season.

Teresa J. Stewart is an author, speaker, and teacher whose passion is small congregations. For fifteen years, she has served, studied, and developed creative resources that fit these congregations. The foundation for her work is simple: small settings are not miniaturized big ones. They work differently. And they have deeply-forming strengths for worship and ministry that are generally unavailable in big settings. She’s the creative behind SmallChurch.org and the author of a newly-released book, The Small Church Advantage: Seven Powerful Worship Practices that Work Best in Small Settings.
