SUMMARY:Advent 2020 Worship Materials
DESCRIPTION:Awaiting the Already\n2020 Advent Worship Series \nAdvent is a lot like waiting for pictures to develop.  Of all the seasons in the Christian year\, it best captures the dynamic tension between the past and the future\, in a way that fills us with hopeful anticipation in the present.  When we journey to Bethlehem\, it’s not that we think Jesus has not been born\, and it’s not just that we believe Jesus will come again.  It is about opening a freshly developed set of photographs\, and allowing the past and the future to amaze us again in the present\, as if the arrival of Jesus were happening for the very first time.  Advent is not a time of pretending that Jesus has never been born; it is a time of preparing for what that birth might mean for us today. \nOver the course of this series\, we will traverse familiar territory\, hearing the stories we have heard countless times over the years.  The four Gospel writers\, like photographers\, will each assume a different angle on the action\, panning\, zooming and selectively choosing which parts of the birth narrative best convey their message.  Altogether\, these stories form one of the essential narratives of our faith:  the anticipation and arrival of the Word Made Flesh.  That “thrill of hope” can only come from waiting.  So\, welcome to Advent.  Let’s await the already together. \n(Awaiting the Already\, pp. 10-12) \nThis series is based on Magrey R. deVega’s book:  Awaiting the Already: An Advent Journey Through the Gospels.  \nWeekly themes for the series are as follows: \nWeek One (November 29\, 2020): Mark: Slow Down\, Pay Attention \nWeek Two (December 6\, 2020): Matthew: The World as It Is \nWeek Three (December 13\, 2020): Luke: The Ultimate Playlist \nWeek Four (December 20\, 2020): John: The Light in the Darkness \nChristmas Eve (December 24\, 2020): Preparing for Christ \nWeek Five (December 27\, 2020): Titus: Paul’s Christmas Letter \nMaterials are from the The Salvation Army USA Central Territory and can be found here:  https://www.samusiccentral.org/advent-worship-series

SUMMARY:World Day of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:World Day of Prayer takes place internationally on the first Friday of March every year. In 2020 that will be March 6th If you can’t celebrate World Day of Prayer on the first Friday in March\, choose another date that works for your community and you can celebrate in symbolic solidarity with women around the world! \nThe host country for WDP 2020 is Zimbabwe. The WDP 2020 program is based on Jesus’ encounter with a person who\, although positioned for healing\, had not acted upon the opportunities given (John 5:2-9a). Jesus asked –“Do you want to be made well?” with the theme “Rise! Take Your Mat and Walk”. You are faced with this life-changing question. What are you going to do? Use this opportunity to reflect with your WDP group\, community and ecumenical partners. Prayer and action are what link us together around the globe. \nFree materials are available for download: http://www.wdp-usa.org/download-free-materials/  \nOther resources are also available at this website:  https://worlddayofprayer.net/zimbabwe-2020.html

SUMMARY:Lenten 2020 Worship Materials
DESCRIPTION:EMBRACING THE UNCERTAIN\n2020 Lenten Worship Series \nJust turning on the news shows that we live in uncertain times. Economic instabilities\, eruptions of violence\, and natural catastrophes can alter the lives and landscapes of entire communities. Our individual lives are often just as unsteady: relationships can break\, plans can falter\, and confidence can fail. Most of us find uncertainty to be uncomfortable\, preferring stability and a predictable future to an unknown fate. We are wired to want to control our destiny. Embracing the Uncertain\, our theme for our Lenten series\, invites you to take a different perspective. Instead of ignoring or hiding from life’s uncertainties\, you can engage them with confidence and find a stronger faith along the way. \nIn Embracing the Uncertain\, we will explore six stories in the Gospels as Jesus travels toward Jerusalem\, where he will be crucified. These stories are signposts in the gospel narrative\, pointing down at a world filled with uncertainty\, yet pointing us forward to a cross that can show us how to follow Jesus with courage\, obedience\, and the hope of the resurrection. \nIn our fast-changing\, unpredictable world there are few guarantees in life. It’s those who are willing to embrace uncertainty and make the risky decision to follow Jesus despite the many unknowns who will reap the greatest rewards. \nThis series is based on Magrey deVega’s book: Embracing the Uncertain: A Lenten Study for Unsteady Times. \nWorship Outlines contain: \n\n Song Options\n Calls to Worship/Scripture/Responsive Readings\n Embracing the Uncertain Prayer Focuses\n Dramas\n Sample Sermons by Magrey deVega\n\nThanks to the Corps and Community Mission Department of The Salvation Army USA Central Territory for providing these materials.  Resources may be found on Music and Creative Arts Department website:  https://www.samusiccentral.org/lent-worship-series

SUMMARY:Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of and solidarity with our brothers and sisters of African descent\, these materials have been prepared for the building up of the Kingdom of God for celebrating Black History Month. \nDuring the month of February\, Americans celebrate the contributions African-Americans have made to our society\, especially recognizing the way our shared heritage has often been ignored. A new video\, presented by the Mission and Culture Department of The Salvation Army—USA Eastern Territory\, highlights the journey of Salvationists of African Descent who have made significant contributions to the Army even while enduring various challenges. We hope that every corps\, ARC center\, and other Army units will provide space and time to view and discuss this video which is challenging and encouraging\, and we trust that God will use it in our communities to answer our earnest prayer—“Thy kingdom come\,… on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). \nIn the documents attached below\, you’ll find 1) Salvationists of African descent video\, 2) group discussion guide\, 3) worship content ideas\, 4) sermon outline\, and 5) a Corps event poster. \nBlack-History-Month-Packet \nBlack-History-Month-Packet-SPANISH-READY \nOaks of Righteousness\, The History of the African Descent Ministry Committee (Video) \nSPECIAL THANKS TO THE EASTERN TERRITORY FOR THIS RESOURCE.

SUMMARY:International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church
DESCRIPTION:Join Christians around the world on Sunday\, Nov. 3\, for the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church — a global prayer meeting for our Christian brothers and sisters who boldly witness for Christ at any cost. \nVoice of the Martyr’s 2019 IDOP short film\, Sang-chul: North Korea\, provides a dramatic example of the challenges of following Christ inside the world’s most restricted nation. The film will inspire you and your family\, group\, class or church to pray for persecuted Christians in North Korea and around the world. \nFilmed on the Korean peninsula\, the film shares the true story of Pastor Han\, who was assassinated by North Korean agents in China because of his effective gospel work among North Koreans. The story is told through the eyes of one of Pastor Han’s disciples\, Sang-chul\, a man who has followed in his mentor’s footsteps by continuing to share the gospel with North Koreans despite the danger. You and your church will be encouraged and better equipped to pray for Christians risking their lives for Christ. \nTo order a free copy of the DVD or for other free downloadable resources for International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church check out Voice of the Martyr’s website.

SUMMARY:Territorial Racial Unity Reading Group Information
DESCRIPTION:Over the months of October and November we are inviting Salvationists to engage with the topic of racial reconciliation and unity. Those interested in joining need only purchase a copy of Dr. Brenda Salter-McNeil’s book\, “Roadmap to Reconciliation” (available online for $7 on abebooks.com and around $11 on Amazon prime).  Participants will start reading a chapter a week for 9 weeks total beginning on October 1\, 2019\, and finishing around Thanksgiving. \nParticipants who would also like to discuss the reading with other Salvationists online can do so by joining the public Face Book page\, “Western Territory Spiritual Formation Reading Group.” \nYou’ll find this book focuses on action and the practical steps we can take toward making progress in this important area for today’s Christians and the Church\, so I ask that you please encourage participation as broadly as you are able. \nAuthor Ruth Haley Barton defines Christian spiritual formation as “the process of being formed in the image of Christ for the glory of God\, for the abundance of our own lives and for the sake of others. I so appreciate how she includes “others” in our personal journey with God. As we read this book together over the next few months it is my prayer that we will not only be changed ourselves\, but that we will also bring positive change our communities as we consider practical ways to promote unity both in our Army as well as our local communities!
