We want to share what we learned at worship:
WHAT CAN WORSHIP BE?
- Dynamic - Transformational - Inspired - Free
HOW CAN PEOPLE LEAD WORSHIP?
- Invite people into a sense of community
- Facilitate a Vertical Conversation
- Show people a journey of scripture, prayer and song
- Minister to the Lord
- Minister to people's Hearts
- Have an UNperformance
- Be transparent, so that people see God, not you
- Practice Worship in private
HOW CAN WE WORSHIP
- Show up; give God the offering of your attention
- Be authentic
- Be open to a visit from the Holy Spirit
OTHER WEE SNIPPETS:
(Kathryn being from Ireland used all kinds of cute colloquialismslike this throughout the course of the few days)
- You don't need to change to come and worship, worship will change you if you come
- God may not give you a new song, but He may give you a seed that you will need to cultivate and grow - How we live our lives is an act of worship. We can not put on our "Worship Man" costume every Sunday morning and expect to make worship happen
-Sunday morning service is not the pinnacle towards which we aspire
-Tip: Don't focus on grumpy faces from the congregation during worship
-Tip: Don't guilt or try to force worship. Be respectful of your congregation and meet them where they are
