Last Sunday we learned about a popular worship format called, "Free Flowing Praise". In this format the worship leader uses carefully chosen songs (in one big block, joined seamlessly together) to bring the congregation through the following six phases. Invitation to worship, Engagement in worshiping God, Exaltation of God with stronger music, Adoration of God with a more personal tone, Intimacy with a quieter, more individual sense of communing with God, and a Closeout which leads the congregation out of intimacy and readies them for the next event in the service. The next event may be a sermon/message from the pastor after which the worship service is over.
This Sunday we're going to examine another worship format called, "The Journey into the Holy of Holies". The inspiration for this format is the Old Testament people of Israel making their way up to Jerusalem to worship at the Temple--going out of the hustle and bustle of the ordinary world, into the outer courts, and finally into the inner courts of the Temple.
Come join us to learn about different worship methods. Bible Study and Sunday School begin at 10am in the downstairs fellowship hall, with Worship at 11am.
