About

"Who's at La Mesa?"/"Quien esta at the Table?"

Exploring Intercultural Worship and Community Formation

May 2-3, 2015 | Buffalo, NY


Experience inclusive, bi-lingual and intercultural worship and community formation at Pilgrim - St. Luke's/El Nuevo Camino UCC in Buffalo, NY and explore theological themes and practical tools used in its creation.

Still Speaking Worship events are designed to connect United Church of Christ churches doing innovative worship practices with other United Church of Christ churches interested in developing these practices in their congregations. The learning format is experiential and reflective. For this event, attendees will participate in worship, reflect on what they have seen, heard and experienced with the worship leaders from the host church and leave with an understanding of how to transfer the foundational aspects of these worship practices to their home congregations.

Children are welcome at the worship service. Child care will be provided for the conversation following lunch.
