Competency Based Learning Guide: Spiritual Services
Unit of competence: Spiritual Services
About this learning guide
Welcome to Spiritual Services. Of all the work a minister does, this is the work the people see. They may never read your exegesis or your board minutes, but every week they sit under the service you have prepared, and in an hour and a half they learn more about your God, your care for them and your seriousness than a year of your private study could tell them. That is why this unit matters. A service is not an event that happens to a minister. It is a work he prepares. The congregation can always tell the difference, even when they cannot say what the difference is, and what they are sensing is not talent. It is preparation
