WORSHIP
We are called to worship together with creativity in the presence of the Holy Spirit, and to be renewed and redeem through the Sacraments, the teaching of the apostles, music and prayer.
Worship Ministry Team This team will focus on our corporate worship and develop ways to help us in our growth and understanding of the spiritual life and in so doing, result in more fully integrating worship and life. Since liturgy is the work of the people not just the clergy, we wish to continue to promote lay participation in the worship. We will find ways to help people worship with joy and integrity. We will recruit, train and support our sanctuary guild, Eucharistic ministers, servers, readers, Latinists, choirs, and organists and instrumentalists and explore other opportunities to participate. We will explore alternate forms of liturgy. We will support our rich tradition and exploration of music and by developing a Music Team. We will consider the use of drama, jazz, youth, the Sunday School, groups of families and outdoor worship. Different ways of doing worship could include different times and weekdays for worship. Exploring our worship could lead to more people seeing worship as a celebration of our life as God’s people. That could help lead us all to a more personal relationship with God and have an opportunity to bring others into relationship with God. It is important to fit into current times without compromising the Gospel. Assessing these items would provide opportunity to discuss the balance between the traditional and the non-traditional. The Worship Ministry Team could also be involved with nurturing the spiritual development of people in many ways, such as: a healing ministry, retreats, quiet days, missions, ecumenical outreach, prayer and study groups. Certain physical changes have been suggested that would have an impact on how we worship and the Team would research, evaluate and possibly recommend to Parish Council their thoughts on everything from installing a loop for hearing aids, to taking out and turning the back pews for social area, to reconstructing the front of the Church – possibly with crescent seating to provide more person to person contact for communion as a people “gathered round the table”. Every visit to church to worship can be seen as an opportunity to change a life.  Burning Palm Crosses for Ash Wednesday.
