Symposium on Worship Archive

A brochure for the Space and Spirit exhibit in association with the 2005 Calvin Symposium on Worship.

What constitutes a sacred space or a sacred place? Furthermore, if by definition sacred space is where one meets God, then many other questions beg to be asked. Does God designate this place or do we? Do we set the criteria for sacred place or is it revealed to us? If God is everywhere, are all spaced sacred? How does one move into or experience sacred place?

This exhibition represents a range of responses to such questions by artists throughout the United States, …

Psalm 8 - A Psalm Of Praise And Morning Plenary Session, Dorothy Bass

Symposium on Worship Archive

Two handouts, one focusing on a morning worship service on Psalm 8, the other a handout from the morning plenary session conducted by Dorothy Bass.

Our four plenary worship 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 devotionals 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 …

Morning Plenary Session, Calvin Seerveld

Symposium on Worship Archive

A handout to accompany the morning plenary service hosted by Calvin Seerveld, based off of the Psalms and Seerveld's book "Voicing God's Psalms."

The Psalms are for all of us! Whether we love classical organ music or jazz, contemporary praise music or global songs, the Psalms provide a deep well of instruction and inspiration. In our work at the Worship Institute over the past year, we have been deeply encouraged regarding the use of biblical Psalms in new churches, traditional churches, contemporary churches, urban churches, military bases, nursing homes, and hospitals.

A handout accompanying a morning worship service based on Psalm 130.

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.

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 …

Program - Calvin Symposium On Worship: Word, Image, Music, Action

Symposium on Worship Archive

We hope that the Symposium has some of the same flavor of joy that the Israelites experienced when they came up to Jerusalem each year for their annual festivals. They came from different tribes, and eventually from different lands and tongues (like the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8). God has drawn us together here also to offer our worship in ways that celebrate the diversity of the children of God in our churches and communities. And so we will all be stretched beyond our familiar surroundings of worshiping communities large and small, some of whom have moved in one direction …

A handout accompanying an evening worship service focusing on Psalms 42 and 43, focusing on orientation, disorientation, and reorientation.

The service is led without any printed order of service, but we provide this outline as a resource for seeing the structure of the service and for identifying music and other resources used without. For similar service outlines, see Ron Rienstra, Ten Service Plans for Contemporary Worship (Faith Alive).
