This past week we began as a church a campaign to emerse our church in the idea of worship. At newSong we teach that there are six essential ingredients of being a follower of Christ and we use WISDOM (thus the name of my blog). Each fall for the next few years we are going to highlight one of these aspects and this year - its WORSHIP. We have prepared a 40 day devotional guide that each family has. We have produced a DVD small group teaching and stidy guide for five weeks of small group discussion and we are offering special SOD classes to prick the understanding about worship. The culmination is November 14-15 when Andi Rozier, worship pastor at HArvest Bible where James Macdonald is will be with us to lead a worship seminar and lead a Sunday celebration about worship. I have always appreciated Rick Warren's understanding that a church needs to concentrate a period of time to core elements of our faith. His 40 days of Purpose has made a big difference in churches. i like the format and believe that churches each year should do an all church intergrated learning experinces around certain key spiritual growth issues. I pray that this will make for a great time of growth and the first of many types of campaigns.
