Dorm worship workshop featured in Chimes
Earlier this month, Paul Ryan led a workshop on campus on the topic of worship in the residence halls. Chimes, the Calvin College student newspaper, covered the workshop and wrote this report and took the above picture.
Paul’s worksheets are now posted. Also note this excerpt from the Chimes article:
[An] organizational tool that Ryan presented was a specific planning process: previse, devise, revise, realize, and analyze. The “previse” state is the brainstorming session for the next worship service. “Devise” refers to a smaller group which sketches out a general plan for the upcoming service according to the “prevising.” During “revise” the rest of the group discusses and edits the plan presented by the smaller group. The “realize” stage is when the group communicates with the readers and musicians who are going to be involved in the service. Finally, the group “analyzes” how the service went and how they can improve upon it. By following these steps, the group can avoid being side-tracked.
