Home Worship Archive
During this season in which we have suspended worship gatherings, we want to offer you resources to be able to still have a rich experience of worship at home. We believe that worship is so much more than just watching something happen. We believe that worship is about the whole body actively engaging in the work of declaring God’s worth and glory, in renewing the covenant by remembering God’s promise of grace and committing ourselves to following Jesus. So, we don’t just want this to be something you can watch and check off the box that you “did church” this week. We want to give you the resources to lift your heart and your lives into God’s presence in a meaningful way even though we can’t be together.
So, for however long this lasts we want to encourage you to set aside time to gather by yourself, with your family, or by a video call with a few other Christians and engage with the resources below. Each week there will be a liturgy for you to read and pray. We will each gather our hearts in God’s presence over these very same scripture passages and prayers. There is space in that liturgy to then watch the provided sermon video. Afterwards there is some time for discussion of the sermon as well as a closing prayer and blessing. If you are gathering with a group, we encourage you to share the reading and the prayers so that everyone is able to use their voice to lead you in worship.
We’re making this up as we go along, so your feedback is welcome! If there are things we can do to make these worship experiences more meaningful for you, please let us know! We have come to see this season as an opportunity to try something new, to explore worship in different ways, and to better prepare you to worship and pray together as families and small groups. Our God brings beauty out of brokenness all the time; maybe this is one of those times.
So, gather yourself, your family, or whoever else you’d like to invite along, and follow the links below to begin to worship together!
