I wonder: what will worship look like in the future? WRITTEN BY – Rev. Debbie McMillan

question headMaybe you haven’t noticed. But over the past six years, new things in worship usually begin in January or September. It’s okay if you haven’t. Some of those changes have been subtle.
But this change I’m writing about isn’t subtle at all. For the past few weeks, I have been experimenting with the message: its delivery and the method of preparation behind it.If you’ve been worshipping with us, you know what I’m talking about: I’ve been focusing my attention on the symbolic materials rather than on your faces.
I’m telling stories, rather than doing something that resembles “traditional preaching”. And I have a time of “wondering”. (Ok, my preaching wasn’t exactly traditional to begin with, but some do experience it that way, even though I preach without notes and away from the pulpit),
In any case…..(Please click “>>” to see the rest of the message)

One Night Only: Liz Reid (my high school friend)

Liz at Vasey

One night only!

Did you read this? http://www.simcoe.com/whatson-story/4722666-in-demand-musician-to-play-vasey-concert/ If you haven’t, please do. You can also check out the Tay Report, page 6. When you do, you’ll see a list of Liz’s amazing accomplishments. She is a violist. No, not a violinist, (violinists are a dime a dozen—I say as someone who at one time was a violinist). And she’s brilliant: world class. And she is coming to Unity tonight to raise funds for our little country church with a big heart. But what you won’t see in any of those write ups is that she’s my friend. I can’t believe I get to say that: it is a total privilege. Seriously. I wish she and her family lived closer, because she’d fit in here. She’s got a big heart too.Truly, one of the most beautiful people I know. So…you wanna read about her credentials, please feel free. I’ve shown you how. But c’mon out tonight and hear a dear soul share her soul with you. Prepare to have your heart touched. See you tonight at 7.
