The Wrangell Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church is getting creative. It has been several months without a pastor. While this is not unusual to wait for a pastor, it does cause a congregation to have to utilize their laypeople more efficiency. The Wrangell SDA is fortunate to have two elders who can take turns preaching. However, even they like a break now and then.
Some might think that technology is the answer, load up a sermon and watch together. This is something that the church does and enjoys. However they wanted to engage the congregation in the service more fully. From that came an idea to do once a month sharing service. The idea is not new and was something that early founders of the church did often.
The way it works at Wrangell SDA is that a topic is chosen and people are encouraged to share a verse or a short thought about how God is leading. Thus far they have covered, gratitude and favorite psalms (you can listen here look for Jan. 27). The service not only gives the elders a much needed break but is blessing to all involved.
