On Worship Education in Congregations
In the March 2005 issue of Reformed Worship, John Witvliet fields a question in his Q&A column on how to teach congregations about worship without making worship didactic.
An excerpt:
Every choir or worship team practice, every council meeting, every Sunday school session, every Bible study group, and every church newsletter is an opportunity for teaching about worship. I recommend teaching one song, introducing one thought-provoking quote, or highlighting one resource in each forum you can-even if it's the same idea in all the meetings you attend in a given month. Over time, this can be an effective form of faith formation.
