Resources for the Worship Year ahead

Resources for the Worship Year ahead: A CPD Event for Ministers and Worship Leaders

New College’s annual CPD event offers resources for preaching and leading worship in the year ahead, based on the lectionary readings for Year C of the Revised Common Lectionary and the Gospel of Luke. Professor Helen Bond will offer insights into scholarship on gender in Luke/Acts; Revd Neil Glover will explore key aspects of his new book ‘Finding Our Voice’ in the context of worship in the coming year; and the Very Revd Dr Derek Browning will share the perspective of an experienced minister and respected preacher on the place of preaching in our present-day context with an eye on the Luke texts.

Rev. Dr Sandy Forsyth, Acting Principal of New College, will host. The café in the Rainy Hall will be open beforehand if you would like to meet others over lunch there.
