How do you approach worship each Sunday? Here is some help from America.
Sometimes it’s easy to come and go, in and out of worship, like a visitor. But here is a much more Biblical approach. The Bible says, I’m not a visitor, I’m a Member of a body. Here is great advice, on how to be a Member of the body – at worship. It comes from Colin Marshall, at the Trellis and Vine Workshop in DC.
Before the Service
Read the passage in advance
Pray for the gathering
Greet newcomers (act like you are the host)
Think strategically about who you should sit with
Arrive Early (NB this is actually logically impossible at Rolling Worship)
During the Service
Sing with gusto (even if you can’t sing)
Help with logistics (if there’s a problem, help fix it)
Don’t be distracted
Listen carefully
Be aware of your facial expressions (you may affect others and discourage preachers)
After the Service
Connect newcomers with others
Get newcomers information
Start a conversation about the sermon
Ask someone how they became a Christian
Stay late
