Theological norms serve as touchstones that determine whether or not something is true. Use these theological norms to spur your own work of establishing your own in your community as they shape creative worship. The Office of Theology and Worship has put together resources for a mini-course on worship that can be used for Commissioned Ruling Elder education, study for worship ordination exams, elder education, and/or a Christian education course on worship. See the full collection of these resources.
This service juxtaposes the readings of Christ's crucifixion with contemporary news accounts to show how the suffering of Good Friday continues, calling us to repent and have compassion.
