Workshop on The In-Between Words
Heidi de Jonge, Paul Ryan, Howard Vanderwell
September 26, 2005
Holland, Michigan

Scripture readings, sermons, and songs take up most of the time in a worship service. But it's often what happens in between them that is most telling. Those little words and phrases that welcome guests, introduce songs, and prepare us for prayer make all the difference for encouraging full participation in worship. These phrases are crucial for extending hospitality and for forming congregations for deep engagement with God and each other. This workshop-for both worshipers and worship leaders-explored their significance and offered tips for anyone who speaks in worship.
