National Bishop’s Sermon for Congregational Use on June 24 – National Bishop Raymond Schultz has written a sermon that can be used on Sunday, June 24, 2007. As many clergy will be attending worship that morning at the National Convention in Winnipeg, congregational leaders are encouraged to use this sermon in their pulpits that day. This sermon can be found at the following link in a pdf format: https://elcic.ca/In-Convention/2007-Winnipeg/Highlights.cfm (Please note that this sermon is not for further publication or public distribution prior to June 24.)
