Shining Waters Sermon Project
The Shining Waters Sermon Project features students from within the Region who have recorded sermons and scripture readings for communities of faith within Shining Waters Regional Council to utilize as they wish. These video recordings are produced in the hope that churches will engage a diversity of voices within their communities on Sundays when ministry personnel are in need of time to be with their community in different ways. The topics discussed in the various videos include anti-racism, mental health, queer theology and communal responsibility. Shining Waters Regional Council has paid the pulpit supply for each speaker. We encourage communities of faith who utilize these videos to make a donation to Mission and Service.
