WORSHIP = RESPONDING

Before we lay out some projects here, I would just like to say that from my reading of the scriptures, the word worship mean responding.  The first time the word worship is used is when Abraham is going with Isaac up to sacrifice to the Lord, and Abe says to his servants, “Isaac and I are going up on the mountain to worship the Lord.”  In this instance, that worship meant sacrificing his own son.  So we’re talking about sacrifice… obedience.  The second time the word worship appears is when Abraham’s servant is looking for a wife for Isaac.  He prays that it would happen in a certain way… at it does!  And he kneels down to worship the Lord.  So we see thanksgiving and praise in this situation. Sacrifice, obedience, thanks, praise… these are all ways we respond to God…. we worship him.  

So in this section, these are projects or activities that are appropriate in yes, worship services, but also in ways to help your students learn how to creatively respond to God.

    Our small groups have a community night and put out incense adn candles adn spoke about our lives being an aroma. We covered one wall in paperand drew out blocks like a stone wall and put Hear our cries Lord! We put scriptures wrote out dealing with wroship and community on the other walls. Students were encouraged to write out prayers on the wall. We had some of the elders come over and serve commuion, it was a great night.
