Procession of Symbols
By Vennture
This Procession of Symbols helps create an atmosphere of celebration. It should communicate “There’s something special happening here today”.
Work and Worship Resources
Not only do we support churches and entrepreneurs in the majority world, we also support and resource churches in Canada – to narrow the gap between Sunday worship and Monday work. One of the best way to do this is to bring the realities of daily work into gathered worship. It is our hope that these resources will help deepen the integral connection between work and worship.
