In April 2010, over 400 lay people and clergy from around North America, including more than two dozen Plymouth members, worshiped, deepened their faith and renewed their spirits at the first ever Festival of Preaching Northwest, sponsored by Tony Robinson’s organization, Congregational Leadership Northwest.
This year the Festival of Preaching Northwest returns April 23-25 with another outstanding roster of internationally known preachers including Anna Carter Florence, Veronica Goines, Tom Long, José Morales, Otis Moss III and Roger Owens. Worship will be enriched by eminent loca musicians such as the Plymouth Choir, the Total Experience Gospel Choir, and a choral ensemble from Seattle University. Special Monday morning workshops by two festival preachers, Anna Carter Florence and Tom Long, are also being offered.
Plymouth Church has once again graciously agreed to host the Festival of Preaching Northwest, and Plymouth members are invited to attend at a special discounted rate. Save even more by volunteering at the festival. Volunteers will assist with meal service, registration and hospitality tables, as well as welcoming and directing people to services and lectures. It’s a great way to connect with speakers and attendees and offer Plymouth-style extravagant welcome.
