The power that God has to crash into someone s awareness is unpredictable. It s important for worship planners to have experienced God s fullness in worship, so that they can provide spaces for the Holy Spirit to interact with humans. It s a deep discussion. The worship planning team has clear beliefs, values, vision and mission. The worship planning team has values that define them specifically, which are tied to the overall values and beliefs of the greater church structure.
Clarity ensures success.
I ll be using Tom Bandy s material in Moving Off The Map to help the 15 participating churches understand the process of developing genetic code. New worship services are an outgrowth of the mutation. The worship planning team understands cultural trends. I ve written 10 stories of fictional characters that represent the modern and postmodern world of worship. Each character s story expresses different aspects of what I ve experienced as I ve visited modern and postmodern churches around the country.
