Ministry and Worship

This article talks about the role of worship for the future of the church. I found it insightful and supportive of many of the things we teach at SCC about ministry and worship being a part of the whole of life. It’s worth investing 15 minutes to read it. Here’s the “gem” of the article:

“My congregants do a lot of social justice and community projects through work, family, and friends. The role of the Church is not to guilt them into doing more and more. Rather, the role of the Church, through worship of God, is to ground them and refresh them in the faith and love of Jesus Christ so that, despite cranky bosses and annoying co-workers, they will continue in the service they are already doing.”
