Chapel Preaching Program  Carleton United Church may be in receipt of funding for the establishment of a summer preaching program akin to the College of Preachers programs offered in various American centres. The difference is that this is not designed for attracting or preaching to great crowds, but rather to what the English call “chapels” – the congregation of from “two or three gathered together,” perhaps a couple dozen, or less than one hundred worshippers, as in small rural or neighbourhood churches, hospital, college or prison chapels.  The program is designed to focus on the privileges and opportunities of intimacy in worship.  Running for ten Sundays between Canada Day and Labour Day each summer, if it gets off the ground this year we may rely on imported preachers of note to open and close the series, and preachers of excellence from United Churches in the Niagara Region for 2010.    If you are interested in participating through attendance of any part or in presenting your best “intimate” sermon of late, please be in touch with Carleton’s current supply minister, Brian Arthur Brown.
