Abstract

Much church worship is dull or has little effect on a person's life during the rest of the week. Consequently, we should develop ways of worshipping that will meet the needs of those who attend yet stimulate the uninvolved and turned-off persons of the community. The literature of worship, past and present, was studied, along with the worship of various congregations. At the same time, members of our worship commissions were encouraged to read books on worship and to ask questions where they were unclear about why we worship as we do. Worship can be enriched, but this involves change which may be resisted. Our approach has been for the pastor and worship commissions to work together as they looked at our worship and decided upon ways it might be enriched and improved. If general agreement was not reached, changes were not made. After a good many changes had been made, we prepared a questionnaire to obtain congregational reaction to them and to help us plan future actions. This type of an approach should make it easier for newly-appointed pastors to effect change, as well as those who have been serving a church for several years.
