The United Church of Christ is offering a collection of worship and faith formation resources available for local churches to use on July 2, the Sunday that General Synod holds community worship in Indianapolis. They include liturgical elements, the communion liturgy, faith formation resources and a video sermon and text.

“There’s so much disconnection in the world,” said the Rev. Cheryl Lindsay, UCC minister for Worship and Theology. “We know the pandemic has left people feeling a greater sense of disconnection, and if there are ways through our worship that we can remind ourselves that we are a community gathering together, whether that happens in person, through a platform or using the same liturgy and themes, it reminds us that we are one body as the United Church of Christ, as a national church and in our local settings."

Included in the Synod@Home offerings are materials for intergenerational worship and faith formation based o the theme "Holy Welcome." They were developed by Debby Kirk, Faith Formation Team Leader for the Southern New England Conference.
