Worship Series: "Not Ashamed"
from UMC Discipleship Ministries

October is an odd oasis in the liturgical rhythms of many churches. Some focus on stewardship; but for many, October is the last breath before the holiday season to come and the changing of liturgical seasons and years. To fill this space, then, we present a worship series titled “Not Ashamed” based on the Epistle readings through the month of October. The lectionary walks through the second epistle to Timothy, giving us some of the highlights of this powerful but short letter. This October can be the perfect time to help the congregation along the discipleship path by shoring up their faith with a worship series designed to help declare that we are not ashamed.

This Week's Theme: "Itching Ears"
Liturgical Resources

This week is about distractions. Well, not about distractions so much as about loss of focus, or maybe even loss of trust in the foundations of the faith. Once again, we are called to celebrate our faith and to embrace ways of living out that faith that might grow and change but in the end will remain true to the words and witness of Jesus Christ.
