Psalm 103 - Abounding In Steadfast Love, Calvin Institute Of Christian Worship, Thomas Long, Martha Moore-Keish, Stanley Mast, Alice Parker, Carlos Colón, Larry Visser, Julia Start Fletcher

Symposium on Worship Archive

A Service of Word and Table based on Psalm 103 with Thomas Long preaching.

The Non-Verbal Languages Of Worship, Don E. Saliers

Symposium on Worship Archive

This workshop will explore the ways in which sight, sound, taste, touch, gesture and movement animate the essentials of Christian worship. In particular we will examine the “synaesthetic” elements of ritual action where our senses “cross-over” and animate one another in the experience of grace in Word and sacrament.

The Strange Silence Of Songs Of Justice In Contemporary Biblical Worship, John L. Bell

Symposium on Worship Archive

The word justice is never far hidden in the vocabulary of the psalmists. Over half the psalms specifically use the word. But in worship today, particularly in the Western church, the word is suspect and politicised. In this workshop we look at how the global church does not share the reservations of the West, and also use examples of psalm settings which celebrate this necessary theme in our praise.

Art As Prayer, Eric Nykamp

Symposium on Worship Archive

Explore non-verbal prayer by learning about how the prayer of the eye (perception), the prayer of the hand (expression), and the prayer of the moment (the dialogue with materials) allow us to commune more deeply with God.

Drum Circle Worship, Eric Nykamp

Symposium on Worship Archive

This hands-on presentation explores how facilitated congregational drumming can be used in worship. All who come will be exposed to the basic facilitation techniques and make worship music together in this fun, interactive presentation. No prior drumming experience necessary!

Intentionally Inclusive Worship, Mark Stephenson, Bill Vanden Bosch, Linda 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.

Why Is It So Hard To Preach About Money, Craig Satterlee

Symposium on Worship Archive

Putting the “M” word back into stewardship, we celebrate giving money in response to an explicit proclamation of the Gospel. This workshop’s goal is to encourage and equip pastors to preach both stewardship sermons and the topic of money as it is found in Scripture.
