Virtual Worship Service for December 29, 2024 from the Synod of the Covenant

Celebrate the good news of the Christ's coming on the first Sunday after Christmas, 2024. This service includes leadership by participants in the Cultivating the Gift of Preaching Initiative, talented musicians from around the synod, and several Synod staff members. It is designed for use by individuals and congregations in order to offer a Sabbath to preachers, musicians, tech gurus, and other volunteers who work so hard all year long, and especially during Advent.
The purpose of the Cultivating the Gift of Preaching Initiative is to identify, train, and provide ongoing support to emerging preachers. The eleven presbyteries of the Synod include numerous church leaders who are called and gifted to preach the good news. The aim of the Initiative is to cultivate these gifts through rigorous training in biblical interpretation, reformed theology, and sermon preparation. The Initiative aims to add 140 trained preachers across Synod over four 18-month training cycles, beginning in June of 2024 and concluding in 2028.
Applications for the 2025-26 cycle are available at www.synodofthecovenant.org. For more information, contact director Matt Aragon-Bruce at [e-mail].
