Good Stewards of God's Grace
“Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received” (1 Pet. 4:10). As spiritual leaders in the congregation, deacons and ruling elders have vital gifts to offer in the leadership of worship. This webinar will help to equip ruling elders and deacons for particular roles and responsibilities as worship leaders in a variety of settings, including: the Service for the Lord’s Day; services of ordination, installation, and commissioning; the extended service of communion; and other ministries of compassion and care with those who are sick, homebound, or hospitalized.
This webinar was led by the Rev. Dr. David Gambrell. David is associate for worship in the Office of Theology and Worship of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). He was an advisory member of the Glory to God (WJKP, 2013) hymnal committee and coordinated the 2017 revision to the PC(USA) Directory for Worship (part of the Book of Order). He is co-editor (with Kimberly Bracken Long) of the latest edition of the Book of Common Worship (WJKP, 2018), author of Presbyterian Worship: Questions and Answers (WJKP, 2019), and editor of the Connections Worship Companion (WJKP, 2021).
