WHO
ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO AT CHURCH?
What is worship?
Worship is the offering of our prayers, our thanksgiving,
our adulations, our gifts, our devotion, and our very selves to our God. It is derived from the first and greatest
commandment, You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and
with all your strength, and with all your mind.
Shouldn’t worship
happen all the time?
Yes it should! But we
are human beings and are not very good at this sort of thing. That is why we have taken the Sabbath, the
Lord’s Day, as a day where for rest and renewal. This renewal begins with the worship of the
Lord.
What do we get out of
worship?
We get the opportunity to rise above ourselves. We get the chance to come together as a
community, to humbly bow down before the throne of grace, to be in the presence
of the Living God, to drink from the well of living water, to realize that we
are limited, derivative beings, created by our loving God, and bathe in the
perfection of our Creator.
How do we accomplish
that?
Through a deliberate order of worship that outlines a
consistent and wonderful way to give of ourselves to our God.
