CRCNA press release on Symposium opening service
Thursday, January 29th, 2009
January 29, 2009 — The annual Calvin Symposium on Worship kicked off Thursday morning with a stirring and yet reflective worship service in Calvin’s College’s Fine Arts Center in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Preaching to an audience that filled the Fine Arts Center, Rev. Craig Barnes, pastor of Shadyside Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, Penn., spoke on the “Parable of the Sower.” In his message, he said that people are seeds that fall to the ground, but it isn’t up to them to make themselves grow.
“It was a wonderful service. Craig talked about it being God who gives us the growth. We just need to listen and try not to puzzle it all out,” said Rev. Ron Rienstra, who served as liturgist for the service that began three days of worship services, prayer sessions, plenary addresses, workshops and seminars.
