Resources Offered to Oklahoma Congregations
Seeking Elder & Clergy Submissions
Rev. Joshua Bell has developed a new website, chaliceresources.com, a collection site to receive worship resources from elders and clergy in Oklahoma. In full partnership with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Oklahoma, the research project is a part of Rev. Bell’s doctor of ministry program at Phillips Theological Seminary. He serves as the minister at Perry FCC.
Josh is requesting submissions from Oklahoma clergy and elders including elder prayers, communion prayers and meditations, and worship service materials. These resources will then be offered to Oklahoma congregations through the Oklahoma Chalice Publishing LLC, a non-profit subsidiary of the Oklahoma Disciples Foundation. Ultimately, the content will be used to create a new Chalice Worship and Chalice Hymnal. All are welcome to submit resources by uploading materials to chaliceresources.com.
Over the summer Josh will be visiting each area in the Oklahoma Region to share about this exciting new resource and will be cooking his famous barbecue. He is encouraging Oklahoma elders and clergy to attend these upcoming gatherings to learn about the value of sharing local resources.
“It is my passion and dream to help congregations of every size and location to have tools to use in worship,” Josh remarked.
