But, seriously, we usually have some thoughts and expectations that go along with the decision to accept an invitation. From time to time during the days before the event, I'm sure you think about the event. Let me suggest to you the same kind of preparation before the event of worship. What we wear to worship is important, and I'm not speaking of our clothing. If you can do even one of these things this week I believe that you will begin to enjoy God, and it will change your worship experience into a rich feast.
Worship is like the center of the labyrinth.
The walk into the center is a time to get ready to be present to God, to enjoy God, to have Spirit touch spirit. Along our path into the center, we get ready in many ways. We can make use of silence, or we may want to sing praises. We may pray for someone else or just listen for God's word to us. The Gospel of John calls it abiding in God's love.
