"A Summer of Contemplation: Sermon Experience"

This summer, join NSUMC as we focus on contemplation using the Revised Common Lectionary. We are making a few tweaks to our summer services to create a more reflective atmosphere:
Inward Reflection: Guided questions, meditations, and moments of silence will help us look inward more often.
Congregational Involvement: We will incorporate simple, contemplative songs that emphasize theological truths.
Shorter Sermons: Homilies will be around 12 minutes long.
Communion Focus: Communion will be a significant part of the service on designated weeks.
Music Leadership: Our song leader will also serve as the cantor.
More Candles: Enhancing the reflective atmosphere with more candlelight.
Virtual Worship Guide: Providing contemplative prayers and exercises for those worshipping away from church.
This service experience style offers reflection on the Lectionary texts, encouraging personal spiritual growth and discernment. We invite you to take a look at our Summer Sermon Experiences @ 10am, Sundays through 8/4/24.
