Predicación

You are invited to join us as we explore what it means to encounter the Holy Spirit in our lives and ministries. We encounter the Spirit of the Living God every single day. The Spirit is alive in the Scriptures. The Spirit is alive in our churches. And as we preach and minister, the Spirit is alive in each one of us. We will explore the ways that the Spirit is at work through Scripture, the ways that we are spiritually formed through Henri Nouwen’s “From Solitude to Community to Ministry,” and how this encounter with the Spirit can be a part of our preaching process. We invite you to join us for a time of renewal as we engage in our own spiritual formation. Let’s encounter and preach the Spirit of the Living God together.

 

Community details

We are incredibly excited to welcome Cynthia Ownby and David Ayres as they shape the preaching community at Summit this fall. They enter this conversation from multiple perspectives—that of practitioner, pastor, and scholar—and their varied experiences will certainly foster a rich experience for all who attend. Stay tuned for more information on the preaching community, its sessions, and speakers.
