Laity Sunday

Although Laity Sunday is often scheduled for the last week in January, in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), any day - every Sunday is a time for laity involvement. The Laity is heavily involved in many aspects of leading, teaching, serving, and outreach to community and world. Laity Sunday is an opportunity to highlight and appreciate the many roles fulfilled by laity. Week of the Laity resources are planned to give you flexibility and a variety of choices. You are encouraged to edit and enhance the suggestions to fit the particular needs of your congregation.

The following resource packets are listed and available for free download for Laity Sunday:

Week of the Laity will be celebrated January 22-28, 2012.  Continuing with the 2011 General Assembly Theme of “Tell-It”, this year’s theme is “The Story of Stones: Tell It”.  The scripture is 1 Peter 2:4-10, “Come to the Lord Jesus, the stone that lives…”  . In this resource packet, you will also find a Bible Story Library, Music Library, Worship Model(s), and Video Examples.   Laity Sunday is a special time when the lay people of the church often pause to consider their varied gifts for ministry, inside and outside the walls of the church building. “You were chosen to tell about the wonderful acts of God, who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” (1 Peter 2:9).  So, during the Week of the Laity, “Let’s Tell It!”  Congratulations to this year’s writer, Minister Lonnie Graves of Concord, California
