iWorship

This week is our first iWorship experience. What is it, you might ask? iWorship is similar to the iPod ideology. In both cases the 'i' stands for integrated. In the case of iWorship it also has the deeper theological significance that worship is not meant to be focused on a capital I. We, you and I, are not the focus of our worship – God is. Its for this reason that we've capitalized Worship to indicate that what's really important and central to these kinds of experiences is our focus on the co-creative relationship between God and God's people in various different ways. So we'll be using hymns, songs – both Christian and popular; sung and recorded, media clips, movie clips, art work, creative interpretation, projection technology, a mix of various instruments, and some of or all of the above. The driving theology is that people encounter God in different ways and through different means. We don't all learn by reading the directions – some of us only learn by physically doing it. The same is true for worship. Its for that reason that these services are multi faceted, media rich, and offer various means for engaging our faith in order to live out Jesus' call to discipleship.

We'll be providing this opportunity in the months that have 5 Sundays. Our hope and prayer is that people will experience a new way of encountering God that isn't off putting to anyone. So whether you enjoy "traditional" hymns and liturgy or something alternative, this service is intentionally designed for everyone wherein the focus is still theme based, grounded in scripture, and built around The Message.

So come and join the fun, depth, and praise of iWorship.
