An Expanded and Generous Table: Is Hybrid Worship in Your Future?
While there is no single, best way for people to gather for worship, as the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel begins to shine and the conversation about “going back” begins in earnest, the question for many congregations is this, “Once online worship is no longer the only option for you and your congregation, will you all have the willingness, energy, and capacity to birth, curate, nurture, and sustain a long-term digital space?” or more succinctly put, “What now?”
The decisions that are made about worship in the coming months must not be taken lightly but must be approached with communal discernment, reflective honesty, and faithful practicality. For those with inklings and dreams about hybrid worship, it is my hope that the questions I offer will help you and your leadership to understand different options, assess congregational willingness, energy, and capacity, and make faithful choices that will best equip you for the future.

Virtual Talk with Author & Pastor Bruce Reyes-Chow on Everyday Kindness on 03/22/2022.
Meet the author of In Defense of Kindness, Pastor Bruce Reyes-Chow!
These days we view kindness as an inert act based on the absence of being a jerk, or we see it as heroic and herculean, beyond the reach and capability of mere mortals. But what if kindness was a practice we could each choose, every day, as a way to experience community and wholeness in new, life-giving, world-changing ways?
Reyes-Chow shows how being kind (which is different than being nice) has the power to transform our relationships in all arenas of our life – from the internet to the public square, from those closest to us to those we find it hardest to be kind to, from justice work on the streets to meetings in the boardroom, and from the line at the coffee shop to the line for school drop-off.
Defense of Kindness will jumpstart your heart and inspire you to practice kindness as a daily discipline, grounded in the idea that each person is created and complex and worthy of dignity and respect. Join the kindness movement and help heal the world!
This author talk is inspired by this year’s Silicon Valley Reads’ themes of Kindness, Resilience, and Hope.
Presentation on Kindness with the Nebraska region of the United Church of Christ and the Disciples of Christ. This was presented remotely February 7-9, 2022, and based on my book, "In Defense of Kindness: Why It Matters, How It Changes Our Lives, and How It Can Save the World" (Chalice Press, 2021)
Workshop Slides: OFFERTORY LABORATORY: Offering is not and should not be just about how best to get the money into the plate. Without valuing one more than the other, we must take seriously the fullness of what we offer back to God in our individual and communal time, talents AND treasures. This focus must not just be in words, but in the rituals and practices that we engage in during worship. In this workshop, we will actually workshop a few models for the offering moment in worship. We will roll-play a few ideas and then see what bubbles up. Bruce will bring a few ideas collected from his experience leading worship as well as from the larger online community with whom he interacts, but you are also invited to bring ideas that you have always wanted to try . . . and we'll try it! Please be prepared to move, fail, discover, reflect, then do it all over again.

Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits
Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves.

Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships.
By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others.
Mindfulness teaches us how to be present for others in difficult times, leading to increased compassion and understanding.
Slide 6: Mindfulness Techniques and Practices
Focusing on the breath and mindful breathing can be a simple way to enter a state of mindfulness.
Body scan meditation involves focusing on different parts of the body, paying attention to any sensations and feelings.

HANUMAN STORIES: TIMELESS TEACHINGS FOR TODAY’S WORLDLearnyoga
Hanuman Stories: Timeless Teachings for Today’s World" delves into the inspiring tales of Hanuman, highlighting lessons of devotion, strength, and selfless service that resonate in modern life. These stories illustrate how Hanuman's unwavering faith and courage can guide us through challenges and foster resilience. Through these timeless narratives, readers can find profound wisdom to apply in their daily lives.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Question and Response Time
16. “Let Bezalel, Oholiab, and every
other skilled worker whom God has
given skill, ability, and knowledge for
the work of building the sanctuary do
all that God has commanded.”
Exodus 36:1-7
17. Moses then called together Bezalel,
Oholiab, and every skilled person
whom God had given skill and who
was eager to come and do the work.
Exodus 36:1-7
18. Moses gave them all the gift
offerings that the Israelites had
contributed to the work on the
sanctuary. They kept bringing Moses
spontaneous gifts, morning after
morning.
Exodus 36:1-7
19. Finally, all the skilled workers
building the sanctuary left their work
that they were doing one by one to
come and say to Moses, “The people
are contributing way too much
material for doing the work that God
has commanded us to do.”
Exodus 36:1-7
20. So Moses issued a command that
was proclaimed throughout the
camp: “Every person should stop
making gift offerings for the
sanctuary project.”
Exodus 36:1-7
21. So the people stopped bringing
anything more because what they
had already brought was more than
enough to do all the work.
Exodus 36:1-7

26. Immediate action!
Deep care and concern for the
people we serve.
Trying any and all things
whether or not folks asked for
them or not.
We manage the heck out of this!
Grace, patience, and
understanding abound.
28. Deeply embrace this time as a
real new normal.
Reflection on how you have
modeled adaptive leadership
and practices.
Begin to reimagine and dream
about the future.
29. What keeps you grounded?
How are you feeling today?
How is your community doing?
@breyeschow | #APCE2021
30. “Once online community is no longer
the only option for you and your
congregation, will have the
willingness, energy, and capacity to
birth, curate, nurture, and sustain a
long-term digital space?”
or more succinctly put, “What now?”

32. We have stood behind physical,
wooden tables and spoken
metaphorically about the expansive
nature of the Body of Christ. We now
have the opportunity to act, live, and
love as if we believe this to be true.
The Reimagined Table.
33. How congregations meet for
committee meetings and other
small gatherings will be forever
changed, but the desire for
worship to return to “what it was
before” is strong.
“Church” is more than worship,
but worship is still central to
most congregations.
34. Worship is not a competition,
numbers are only a
measurement, and engagement
will be evaluated differently in
every space.
There is a spectrum of options,
context matters, and leadership
must assess and translate for
their particular spaces.
35. Expanding the table in a digital
age (Hybrid Worship) requires
much more energy and resources
than may be assumed, so we
must all enter this time of
dreaming and discerning with
cautious optimism and deep
personal and communal
reflection.

38. IN-PERSON ONLY
What most churches
did before the
pandemic, only
meeting in person at a
geographic location.
Why Yes?
“We get to see one
another
face-to-face again!”
Why Not?
“Because I do not
live in the area, I
won’t be able to
worship with you
anymore.”
39. REMOTE ONLY
Worship on Zoom,
Meet, etc.: a remote,
interactive, and
in-the-moment online
worship experience.
Why Yes?
“Yes, my kids, my
mother, and I can
still worship
together.”
Why Not?
“It’s been hard not
to see people every
Sunday and I will
miss that.”
40. TWO SERVICES
Two completely
separate services,
each able to focus
on and leverage its
own unique setting.
Why Yes?
“We already do
both services really
well, so this will give
us a chance to
reach more people.”
Why Not?
“But I want to be
able to get to know
everyone.”
41. STREAMING
Sanctuary centered
where remote
participants watch
others worship. Some
online interaction.
Why Yes?
“Wow, so many
more people are
watching.” and “I get
to watch worship
whenever I want to.”
Why Not?
“I miss being able to
interact with
everyone else at
worship.”
42. HYBRID
In-person or remote,
a service where
people have
essentially the same
worship experience.
Why Yes?
“We are all still
around the same
table!”
Why Not?
“Whoa, this is a ton
of work.” “How will
we create a space
where everyone has
essentially the
same experience?

53. As churches make post-pandemic plans,
my greatest hope is that current members
for whom the church has bent backwards
to make sure they stay connected, will see
the importance of shifting some of that
energy to connecting with and caring for
those "outside" the church.
The Reimagined Table.
54. REIMAGINING OVER
REPLICATION
Take advantage of
the platform to
enhance the
worship experience.
Question?
If you changed
sanctuary seating from
pews to chairs what
would change?
How does your space
impact how you
worship in person or
online?
55. ● Embrace accessibility to and
possibilities for connection.
● What is central and what is
not: communion, offering...
● Simplified bulletin.
● Increased use of visual:
content: video, fonts, guests
● Reconfigure physical space.
● Think DJ and Curator.
56. DECENTERING OF
GEOGRAPHIC PLACE
Place is defined by
theological, cultural
expression, and
beliefs.
Question?
How do you talk about
the “space” in which
you gather? Do you
infer that digital space
is not as “real” as the
physical one or simply
another place where
you happen to gather
in community?
57. ● Resist the desire and inertia
to make the physical location
the ideal experience.
● Worship leadership should
come from various locations.
● Language: “space,” land
acknowledgement, local
flavor, global reach.
58. INVITATION TO
LEADERSHIP
Engagement and
participation open up
when geographic
boundaries are let go.
Question?
Are there recent grads,
relocated seniors, or
new connections are
showing a desire to
become more
engaged and
connected to the
communty?
59. ● Value voices of remote and
new voices.
● Engage what it means to be a
“member” if remote.
● Invite remote people to
service on committees,
ministry teams, etc.
● Expand teams: Tech
Deacons, onsite, etc.
60. ENGAGEMENT OF
THE COMMUNITY
Connect by
theology and/or
geography creating
community.
Question
Can you create
enough community
connection points
where having
someone solely
in-person will cause
pause because some
may be left out.
61. ● Create, invite, and support
such a lived and loving
community, that when you
begin conversations about
this new “space,” people have
no choice but to yearn to
include those who are gather
from other spaces.
62. ● Measure/Track emgagement.
● Honor affinities: lifestages,
curiosities, and locations.
● Curate diverse spaces:
online, in-person, hybrid.
● Create intimate interactions.
● Create opportunities for
casual interactions.
● Leverage this time to play.
● Explore emerging and
diverse gathering platforms.
63. TECHNOLOGICAL
CAPACITY
Determine realistic
ability to embrace
the technological
learning curve.
Question?
More than zoom, do
you have the staffing
or lay capacity to
handle streaming,
video, Customer
Relations Management
(CRM), and other tech
needs?
64. ● Equipment
● Staff
● Training
● Stretch
● Practice
Budget clear time expectations
are indicators of commitment.
Don’t try to be techno-fancier
than you really are. BE YOU!
