Symposium on Worship Archive

Explore a rich variety of music that reflects deeply on the life of Jesus, and is appropriate for any service based on one of the four New Testament gospels, including some songs that focus on “telling the story,” others that are adept at “unpacking the meaning of the story,” and still others that “help us see ourselves taken up into the story.” Examples will include historic texts by Watts and Wesley, music from African-American, Asian, Latino, and Anglo contexts appropriate for use in both contemporary and traditional contexts. Come ready to transcend stylistic divides as we focus our attention on …

Trinitarian Sacramental Theology, Kimberly Hope Belcher, Todd Billings, Glenn Packiam, M. Sydney Park, Laura A. Smit, John D. Witvliet

Symposium on Worship Archive

It is a remarkable Christian claim that God is active not only in receiving our worship, but also in inspiring, prompting, and perfecting it—drawing us into communion with God and each other. It is also remarkable that God would do this through embodied, material human actions of washing, eating, and drinking. Yet often this central Christian vision is forgotten, ignored, or distorted, and all sorts of believers are never given the opportunity to taste and see God’s beauty in this vivid and nourishing way. This session will be a doxological session, full of praise to God for this gift. It …

Prayers Of A Person, Prayers Of The People, Jane Zwart Jan 2019

Prayers Of A Person, Prayers Of The People, Jane Zwart

Symposium on Worship Archive

What does it mean for any of us as one person—a person with particular quirks and gifts and blind spots—to offer the prayers of the people? How do we voice prayers that move toward generosity without sliding into the generic? How do we craft prayers that offer up our firstfruits as writers or orators without letting them become showy? How do we pray without furthering or ignoring the divisions that run through our congregations? This workshop will weigh these questions as well as explore some provisions for the person called upon to pray on behalf of all God’s people.

Worship And Culture, John A. Azumah, Monique M. Ingalls, Terry Leblanc, Robert Chao Romero, Leopoldo Sánchez, John D. Witvliet Jan 2019

Worship And Culture, John A. Azumah, Monique M. Ingalls, Terry Leblanc, Robert Chao Romero, Leopoldo Sánchez, John D. Witvliet

Symposium on Worship Archive

All pastoral leaders, including worship leaders, are called to make decisions with discernment about culture. We are called to “not conform to this world” (Rom. 12) and yet to “be all things to all people” for the sake of the gospel (1 Cor. 9:22). At its best, Christian worship is richly contextual. It is also countercultural. To make discerned choices about how worship relates to culture, we need the wisdom of believers from many different cultural contexts to teach and guide us, to keep us from rejecting what should not be rejected and embracing what should not be embraced. We …

Making Worship A Verb For All Ages: Cultivating Worship Awareness And Inviting Response, Terri Gaeddert, Rosi Penner Kaufman

Symposium on Worship Archive

WorshipArts at Rainbow Mennonite Church in Kansas City is a program for K-5th grade congregants. Influenced by the Reggio Emilia teaching and learning approach, this program offers children the opportunity to respond to worship, ask questions, and become more aware of the language, ritual, movement, sound, and art incorporated in worship. A Vital Worship Grant from the Calvin Worship Institute in 2014–15 provided the resources to expand awareness and integration of the program more fully into the worship life of the Rainbow congregation.
