Presenters: Your Region Ministers

Topic: The Nuts and Bolts of Preaching (Session 3)

The Pastors Zoom Call in June will focus again on the topic of preaching. We understand the significant demands pastors have upon them, and this particular role can be both draining and invigorating in the course of a pastor’s ministry. Likewise, the short- and long-term consequences the spoken Word has in the life of a congregation cannot be measured. For certain, in times of uncertainty, an articulate and true clarion call from scripture is desperately needed.

This time we will continue to focus our attention on delivery styles, special services, and considerations regarding the invitation. We will explore how pastors can discover their voice and invite a response that is appropriate to both the scripture text and congregational setting.

Region Staff will be facilitating this call. Your Region Ministers and Executive have well over a century of experience in their own pulpits and have the opportunity to visit our congregations and regularly hear pastors in our Region preach in a variety of congregational settings.

–For the Zoom connection information, refer to the reminder emails sent to pastors who are subscribed to our Region publicity during the week leading up to the June event, refer to the May/June issues of Observations (Region e-news), or contact your Region Minister for that information!

Additional notes:  During July, Pastors and Staff take a “Summer Break” from these calls.

They will reconvene by Zoom on Tuesday, August 12, when Dr. C. Jeff Woods, ABCUSA Associate General Secretary for Regional Ministry, and an Indiana native and previous local church pastor here in our Region, will address “Developing Healthy Boards.” – Please save the Aug. 12 date @ 10 AM EST as well!
