COVID-19 Resources

NC Synod Shared Worship offers a sermon each Sunday:

The bishop's staff of several Region 9 synods are working together to provide a sermon video clip for each Sunday. This clip can be inserted into your congregation's recorded worship service as a help for rostered ministers taking time off or simply shared in other ways for study and devotion. January preachers are from the Southeastern Synod. Download the sermon each week (available on Wednesdays by noon). For Sunday, January 30, the clip comes from the Rev. Jill Henning, Assistant to the Bishop for Leadership and Administration.
