This workshop features candid, wide-ranging discussions about the most important themes that worshiping communities may need to address in the next 10 years.

We briefly look back on conversations of 10 and 20 years ago to reflect on the topics that were at the center of our attention then. Then we imagine together what a Worship Symposium program in 2025 might look like. The goal is to discern together how we can walk in step with Spirit's redemptive work in the world, responding to emerging needs and opportunities in faithful, creative ways. The session is facilitated with a process that could easily be adapted for use in your church, school, or ministry context. Chris Schoon also participated in this conversation.

This is a session from Saturday, January 31.
