The Gospel is proclaimed in many ways, but the human voice still makes the Word of God come alive. One of the best ways to prepare for the Advent season is to speak the words of the Bible aloud. Whether for personal devotion or public worship, engaging the texts orally brings new depth of insight and understanding.
This seminar combines speech communication, worship, and theology in an in-depth look at the lectionary texts for the Advent season. This is a full participation event—we will practice and proclaim together to explore the texts and the overall tone of the Advent season. An excellent way to prepare for Advent, brush up on presiding in worship, and work with the Scripture.

En este día de educación teológica, participantes y líderes de iglesias Latinas explorarán el poder transformador de los milagros de Dios, realizados por Jesucristo en medio de la escasez y la abundancia de la frontera del Imperio Romano y el Reino de Dios. Reflexionaremos en el significado de vivir la manifestación de los milagros de Dios en las luchas cotidianas de los hispanos nativos y nuevos inmigrantes en la zona fronteriza de Estados Unidos. Examinaremos los milagros a la luz del contexto histórico y cultural del Imperio Romano, para entender su trascendencia como manifestaciones del Reino de Dios proclamado por Jesucristo en los Evangelios.
Este taller será impartido en Español.
