Symposium on Worship Archive

A handout accompanying the evening worship service focusing on Psalm 118.

Our four plenary services this year are based on Psalms, each reflecting a different dimension of prayer. Each service is stylistically quite distinct, yet each includes many common elements. Though many participants may be prompted to prepare a series of services, sermons, or worship committee devotions based on these four services, our primary goal is not to offer model services for analysis or replication. Rather, we pray that these services will be a source of biblically grounded encouragement, challenge, nourishment, and refreshment for all who participate during our time …

Symposium on Worship Archive

The four services are based on the two central claims found in Joel 2: a call to repentance and the promise of the Spirit. The first claim, "rend your hearts and not your garments," has been the church's traditional call to Lenten repentance. The second, "I will pour out my Spirit," has been the church's traditional reading for Pentecost. The life of faith is anchored by both this challenge and this promise, never one without the other.
