passionate worship workshop
DESCRIPTION
This is the power point of the presentation I gave at Montrose Zion UMC for the Canal Spring District conference. The name of the workshop was "Passionate Worship" and it was (loosely) based on Robert Schnase's "Five Practices of a Fruitful Congregation."

PlanningTake time to sit down with many people who represent many different parts of the church.
Before you look to start anything new, assess the worship you are currently conducting. Would you describe it as passionate?
PlanningGet a feel for the worship needs of the church. Ask the questions “Are our worship needs being met?” and “Are the fruits of our worship evident?”
Above all else, pray. Ask God how you can best serve your congregation in worship.
How We DifferWe use a laid back yet structured format which provides a comfortable atmosphere.
We have no bulletin or offertory, but instead we have built in times of fellowship and prayer.
Service Setup
-Opening song and welcoming-Time of corporate worship-Fellowship time-Prayer time (begun with a song)-Teaching time-Closing worship
How We DifferWe are visually driven. From stage lights and visual media to big blue room dividers, we strive to create atmosphere without being a distraction.
We play new music while holding on to hymns and other musical traditions.
