Intentionally Inclusive Worship, Mark Stephenson, Bill Vanden Bosch, Lyn Vanden Bosch
Intentionally Inclusive Worship, Mark Stephenson, Bill Vanden Bosch, Lyn Vanden Bosch
Symposium on Worship Archive
When Rev. Bill and Lyn Vanden Bosch came to Oakdale Park Church in Grand Rapids they decided that they would stay long enough for the church to become an inclusive community. They stayed 30 years. They will help participants understand what an intentionally inclusive church looks like. It’s not about creating programs, but creating a mindset which says to each individual, “You belong.” That same mindset avoids paternalism by also telling each person, “You have something to contribute.” Workshop leaders will touch on issues relating to inclusiveness and worship, pastoral care, outreach, and fellowship.
Learning Reconciliation Through Worship Music And Community, David Bailey
Learning Reconciliation Through Worship Music And Community, David Bailey
Symposium on Worship Archive
Forty years ago Dr. Martin Luther King stated, “11 o’clock Sunday morning is the most segregated hour in America.” Forty years later, the racial segregation has not changed a lot, and the segregation has spread to other areas such as age and class. In this workshop, we will discuss practical methods to use worship music as a tool in the ministry of reconciliation within a local church context.
"Alleluias" Concentrated: Enabling Expansive Worship In Small Membership Congregations, Paul Detterman
"Alleluias" Concentrated: Enabling Expansive Worship In Small Membership Congregations, Paul Detterman
Symposium on Worship Archive
“If we only had / could…” can become too common a phrase in smaller congregations. God invites us to worship as we can, not as we can’t. Paul Detterman spends the vast majority of his time working with “wee kirks” (under 70 in worship). This session will equip and encourage even the smallest congregation (or small group within a larger community) to design and experience deep, joy-filled worship using everything God has given them and requiring nothing more.
Worship And Human Emotion, Syd Hielema
Worship And Human Emotion, Syd Hielema
Symposium on Worship Archive
Human emotion plays a profound role in Christian worship, but this role is very complex and easily misunderstood. What is the role of human emotion in our walk with God, and how do we as worship leaders obediently honour that role? What temptations to abuse emotion do we experience? How might we guide congregations to both emotional freedom and emotional maturity?
Re-Tuning The Lyre, Karen Campbell
Re-Tuning The Lyre, Karen Campbell
Symposium on Worship Archive
Psalms have been part of personal and public worship in Ireland since the times of St. Patrick. Yet, today some react against the tradition of metrical psalm singing. The Worship Panel of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland was tasked to examine, revise and refresh the use of psalms in corporate worship. This workshop will demonstrate some newer Irish psalm settings for worship and suggest ways for creative use of the Psalms in worship so that the next generation will come to know God, ‘even the children yet to be born so that they in turn will tell their children’ (Psalm …

Does what we say we believe affect how we worship?

This seminar will consider the educational and liturgical use of confessions from several different denominational perspectives.

Sometimes a guitarist is the lead musician in a band, or perhaps the guitarist is the only musician leading the congregation in song. Does leading with guitar also mean leading with your voice? Can the guitar take the keyboard role? This session will explore the needed skills and the challenges of encouraging congregational singing led by guitar
Lessons From Sodom, Scott Vander Ploeg

Many in today’s society have only a vague notion of sin and its consequences. Yet, the gospel of Jesus Christ stands out most brilliantly only when understood against the destructive backdrop of human sin. Utilizing the Old Testament story of Lot in Sodom, Scott Vander Ploeg will explore how to effectively communicate the bad news/good news of the gospel in a mission context.
