Worship That Works: Supporting Spiritual Life in Small Congregations
Judy Schermer shares information about an exciting opportunity:
The Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) is offering a program specifically
designed for small congregations: an online course in six sessions for lay
leaders who are interested in leading communal worship and life-cycle
events.
The course begins in January 2023 and meets monthly from 7 pm-8:30
pm CST. It culminates in a worship, music, and song-leading conference,
Hava Nashira, May 21-24, 2023, at URJ’s Greene Family Camp in Bruceville,
TX. This is “an immersive few days … with 100+ other participants and the
most dynamic teachers leading prayer and song in the Jewish world.”
A former participant said, “I had a marvelous time connecting with similarly
impassioned people from other small congregations, and we continue to be
resources for each other.” Stipends are available for the six-session
course and the conference.
Donations to CBS are a good way to remember or honor people and special life events. Your gift can be directed to the CBS general fund, the rabbi’s discretionary fund (RDF), the library, the Sasha Yelon book fund, the school scholarship fund or the sacred music fund.
Credit card or PayPal donations can be made via the CBS web page: https://cbsmo.org/ Or send a check to CBS, 500 W Green Meadows Rd, Columbia 65203, with a note with details about honorees and where you’d like the notification sent. We’ll send a handwritten card as you direct.
