And now we pray that the congregations we represent, the towns and suburbs and cities in which we live all over this world, that every square inch of your creation will taste your grace and bring glory and praise to you.
- prayer in closing worship at Symposium 2009
January 28-30, 2010
Worshipers and worship leaders from around the world gather each January for a time of fellowship, worship, and learning, seeking to deepen and integrate all aspects of worship, develop their gifts, encourage each other, and renew their commitment to the full ministry of the church.
This year, for the first time, we will be holding all worship services and plenary addresses in the new Spoelhof Complex Arena at Calvin College (due to construction at the Fine Arts Center).

Remembering Baptisms: Living Wet
Worshipers notice the font when dancers carry in the baptismal bowl at Church of the Servant, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Chip Andrus has led worship from the baptism font, talked about baptism in countless settings, and used visuals and experiences to help worshipers remember their baptisms during daily life. He says that baptism marks Christians as members of one family, united by “baptismal vows we have made before God to love, care for, and nurture one another."
