Some Thoughts about Improving Our Worship Worship is central to the Christian life. When we gather together for public worship, our theology comes to life and is openly displayed for all to see. Though we at Christ Reformed Church have made great progress in our four-year history, there are some aspects of our worship service that need improvement. Here are some thoughts about things we could be doing better. The first thing we need to remember is that worship begins at the door of the sanctuary, not when the announcements conclude.
Preparation is one of the most important parts of worship.
When the worship service begins, in a very real sense, we enter into the presence of the living God. This is why when you enter the sanctuary of a Reformed church, you'll notice that the room is quiet. People enter, sit quietly, pray, read Scripture, and prepare for God to speak to them . . . and prepare themselves to respond. At Christ Reformed Church, however, the room is too often abuzz with activity, even during the choir's call to worship and the announcements. This is all very understandable.
