Overview of Worship Services
Worship on Tuesday-Thursday Mornings
Highlighting our morning worship will be Dr. Barbara Kay Lundblad, the Joe R. Engle Associate Professor of Preaching at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. Dr. Lundblad is an ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. She served for 16 years as a parish pastor in New York City,and has taught preaching at Yale Divinity School, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Hebrew Union College. The morning services will revolve around the conference theme of God's call upon our lives and our response to that call.
Worship on Tuesday Evening
The beautiful Church Cathedral of St. Louis (Episcopal) will serve as the setting for Tuesday evening's service.
The St. Louis ensemble Crossings will play its own unique style of music, featuring strings, woodwinds and guitars. There will be six cycles of reading, singing, silence, and dance.
Because the cathedral is an intimate space, half the group will worship, while the other half eats in the cathedral's fellowship hall; then the two groups will switch.
Worship on Thursday Evening
The vibrant congregation of Manchester United Methodist Church in suburban St. Louis will welcome the convocation for a festival of preaching, choral music, and Holy Communion.
Bishop Scott J. Jones of the Kansas area will preach and preside at the table.
The Convocation Choir will premier the first Lloyd Pfautsch Memorial Anthem commissioned by The Fellowship and composed by Mack Wilberg.
