Report from Workshop on Leading Worship Renewal
Betty Grit reports on a workshop on leading worship renewal held last week at Grand Rapids Christian High School, sponsored by Volunteers in Service:
Intentional focus on worship renewal can take many forms and will have unexpected results. Four project directors recently led a workshop in which they shared their experiences and provided insights for those who may wish to lead a process of worship renewal in a congregation.
- Stan Mast described how La Grave Avenue Christian Reformed Church engaged in a year-long study of youth in worship, especially traditional worship. They discovered that style of worship doesn’t matter. What is important is that worship be filled with Passion for God, that worshipers be confident that there is a Place for them and that they have opportunity for Participation. Pastor Mast told us that he recently planned a worship service with eight young people. Their contribution to the planning process led them to express their appreciation for the worship service and the significance it had for them.
