Worship
WORSHIP: SOME PRINCIPLES OF WORSHIP
Variety is used as a means of:
- Enriching our lives and our faith
- Meeting differing worship needs
- Familiarizing people with our rich worship tradition
Hymnody and songs reflect our Lutheran emphasis on:
- Congregational participation
- A variety of styles and favorites among our membership
- Our approach to the readings and the theme of the day.
Our concept of worship is:
- A dynamic encounter between God and God's people
- A participation in God's ongoing plan of salvation
- A time when God brings gifts of forgiveness, faith, hope, love and community
- A time when we offer ourselves to God in prayer, praise, discipleship and service
