Laity Sunday 2025

Laity Sunday celebrates the people of God and the Spirit working through them (all of them). As God’s people grow in grace, they gather with others and connect with the saving love of Jesus Christ. So, on Laity Sunday (October 19, 2025), we continue to lift up God’s call to follow the way of Jesus and lead others to him – especially, as we consider what it means to be Spirit-strong, connectional disciples, ligament leaders who “cover” the LORD’s song together.
