Wilshire and Royal Lane Baptist Church of Dallas will collaborate by swapping worship leadership on two February Sundays. Congregants are encouraged to attend their respective churches both weeks.
“By participating in this swap with our most like-minded local sister church,” Wilshire Senior Pastor Timothy Peoples said, “we are embracing our shared faith and practicing what it means to be community as the church universal.”
On Feb. 16, worship at Royal Lane will include preaching from Timothy. Wilshire Minister of Music Ariel Merivil will co-lead the music, and the combined choirs from both churches will sing. (At Wilshire, Sunday School and worship will be held as usual, with Pastoral Resident Georgia McKee preaching.)
On Feb. 23, Royal Lane Senior Pastor Victoria Robb Powers will preach at Wilshire, and the combined choirs will sing again as Royal Lane Minister of Music and Worship Harry Wooten co-leads the music with Ariel.
