Do you get asked to preach at the last minute but need more preparation to be able to respond to those short-notice calls? Are you comfortable with a traditional sermon but left wide-eyed when asked to give a children’s sermon or have more flexibility in the pulpit? From Your Heart to Theirs is for laity and clergy who are striving to expand their preaching abilities. It is a two-week course with insights into the connection of scripture with events and experiences, even if you haven’t preached that way before, while offering a safe space to practice those skills, and without leaving home. This course requires weekday engagement in Blackboard and two mandatory Zoom meetings that will be held each Friday from 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. (Central). Absence from either Zoom meeting will result in not receiving a completion certificate for this course, so do not enroll unless you are committed to the stated days and times. This session will be led by Nan Nelson.
