W.I.T.N.E.S.S. | Priesthood from Monday-Saturday

Series Overview

The reign we just learned to trust hands us a vocation. We were ordained as priests of the kin-dom at Pentecost. We were sent at Homecoming. Now we ask the room's working question. What does this priesthood actually look like Monday through Saturday?

W.I.T.N.E.S.S. is the weekly rhythm we'll be learning. Seven moves the priesthood lives by. Welcome. Invite. Table. Neighbor. Equip. Story. Send. Each week names one move of the priesthood and one practice the church has carried for centuries. Breath prayer. Silence. Solitude. Examen. Fixed-hour prayer. Testimony. Sabbath-keeping. Practices aren't religious extras. They're the priesthood's working tools.

Wherever love is needed? That’s where our altar is!

Series Big Idea

We are priests. All of us. That's not a job we have to earn. It's a love we receive, grow and pass along. We're priests not for ourselves, but for one another! For seven Sundays we'll practice the very ordinary ways the church has carried that love for centuries. We'll welcome. We'll invite. We'll gather at the table. We'll walk with our neighbors. We'll help one another find our gifts. We'll tell our stories. And we'll send one another out.
