Many of you were able to see these photos displayed on screen at the synod convention. This is an on-going project, so we encourage further submissions. Christian worship is a celebration of the Good News. This is not to say that sorrow and tears have no place in worship obviously, they do. But over time the predominant mood of worship should be joy.
Christian worship is corporate .
The real ministers are the people of God themselves. Pastors and church musicians are conductors rather that performers. When the people of God come to church as spectators, then we are back in the box that the Middle Ages got us into, and we need a new reformation. Christian worship is directed to God. That seems so obvious that it should not need to be said, but then there are some other ideas out there about the object of our worship.
