We assist the Senior Minister in preparing and delivering the weekly worship services, as well as hosting and assisting visiting ministers. This preparation starts weeks before a given Sunday and is an interactive process. On a particular Sunday, participation might consist of simply providing a reading, or complementing the sermon of a visiting guest minister by delivering the parts of the service that are unique to this congregation&#8217;s worship identity. The Worship Associates also plan, prepare and deliver entire services,\u00a0mostly during the summer months when the Senior Minister is on study leave.<\/p>\n<p>Cheryl Dixon Paul serves as the head of the Worship Associates for the 2020-2021 season.
