Make/Equip/Send: The Stories that Shape EDUSC

This past Saturday we celebrated the ordination of Jenn Pilat, and the preacher was the Rev. Dr. Mark Jefferson. Dr. Jefferson is the Assistant Professor of Homiletics at Virginia Theological Seminary.

This month we talk with EDUSC alum Alan Yarborough, who was involved with Canterbury at Clemson University and has worked with our teams in Cange, Haiti. He now serves as Communications Coordinator in The Episcopal Church's Office
of Government Relations.

Worship can be a powerful way to encounter the living God. Our stories intersect with God's story as the gifts of God are celebrated and shared by the people of God. In his new book, Gifts of God for the People of God, Furman Buchanan, rector of St. Peter's (Greenville), explores and reflects on each element of Holy Eucharist, the service most often held on Sunday mornings.

Moving from the first spoken word of the service—blessed—to the last phrase—Thanks be to God—Buchanan explains the theological and scriptural elements of the service, helping newcomers and longtime members alike gain a deeper understanding of this gift of God.

The Rev. Suz Cate, Rector of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Clemson, S.C., shares her sermon from Easter Sunday, "Let Your Alleluias Rise."

Bishop Waldo preached on the parable of the prodigal son as part of Trinity Cathedral's Lenten series.

Each year, clergy from around EDUSC gather at Trinity Cathedral during Holy Week for the Renewal of Ordination Vows. This year, Ned Morris (Rector, Church of the Advent, Spartanburg) gave the sermon.

Join us as we share the stories that make up the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina.
