Sermon - Bishop Cedrick Bridgeforth
Bishop Cedrick Bridgeforth offers encouraging and challenging message during installation service
Bishop Cedrick D. Bridgeforth was installed as the resident bishop of the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area of The United Methodist Church on Sat., May 20, 2023, during a worship service held at Aldersgate UMC in Juneau, Alaska. The Greater Northwest Area includes the Alaska, Oregon-Idaho, and Pacific Northwest Annual Conferences. Representatives from each annual conference participated in person and virtually, with over 1,000 others tuning in to watch the live stream over the first 48 hours, with some gathering in local church watch parties.
Bridgeforth offered a message based on Luke’s Gospel (10:30-37) during his installation service. The Greater Northwest Area’s 2023 Annual Conference theme, “Go and Do Likewise,” was central, with Jesus’ words providing both challenge and direction. The bishop encouraged United Methodists across the Greater Northwest to “pray with our feet” and “get to neighboring” among many other topics.
