Winter Worship Series - Re: Reading Wesley
John Wesley, the founder of Methodism is known for the width and depth of theology throughout the sermons he preached. Some of his masterpieces are still favorites of many disciples, and they are worth rereading from the perspectives of 21st century Christianity.
Even more, what if it is through the lens of modern day "circuit riders?" Circuit riders were preachers in the good ole days who rode on horses and moved from churches to churches rotating and preaching to the community they were appointed.
This winter, six United Methodist Churches in the Woodbridge area jointly offer a Pulpit Swap, sharing messages based on John Wesley's masterworks for six weeks. Pastors will come to each church and lead worship services in turn. At Old Bridge:
January 19 - “Original Sin” (by Pastor Kyungsuk)
January 26 - “Almost Christian” (by Rev. Bob Michalides, St. Paul UMC)
February 2 - “Witness of the Spirit” (by Rev. Gayle Porias, Cokesbury UMC)
Holy Communion is offered during the service
February 9 - “Scriptural Way of Salvation” (by Rev. Gennie Bowles, Prince of Peace UMC)
February 16 - “Free Grace” (by Rev. Lisa Barbery, Good Shepherd UMC)
February 23 - “Justification of Faith” (by Rev. Esther Agbosu, Bethel UMC)
This series is offered all throughout the Woodbridge Collaborate connection: Bethel, Cokesbury, Good Shepherd, Old Bridge, Prince of Peace, and St. Paul United Methodist Churches. Join us in one of the six locations, as we seek to grow in faith through twelve new eyes to read the classic messages that have been loved for centuries! We know you will love it!
