This summer 2026, Bishop Dee and the pastoral staff will be providing video sermons that can be used by congregations during worship.
The sermons will be on the 2nd lessons from Romans and can be used on any Sunday for the summer. The theme, Ground in Hope, comes from the 2026 Synod Assembly where we gathered, living out these powerful words from St. Paul’s letter to the early Christians in Rome.
The sermons are available in a PDF format that can be read by a worship leader or by video. There are no bulletins or hymn suggestions paired with these sermons. We hope this will serve as one way we can support congregation leaders and members as they continue to move forward God’s mission.
