The Faithful Preaching Project is delighted to welcome these fellow Compelling Preaching Initiative colleagues for a lively preaching workshop on Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7, 2026.
Held at Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church, the workshop will go through the upcoming Advent and Christmas texts in Luke, teaching new strategies to reawaken these well-known scriptures. This two-day workshop costs $40.00 which includes two books by the facilitators and three meals; scholarships are available by request.
Two cohorts for Faithful Preaching Project are underway with Zoom meetings and retreats, and Children's Sermons by Children just hosted a successful online workshop. Stay tuned for that recording and check out other ways you can get involved with the Sharing Faith Initiative -
