Running With God

Experience

Last Sunday concluded our Magnify series. Our goal was to immerse people in an experience of worship. We did that through the following elements:

• A cross was placed in the center of the floor.
• Chairs were reoriented to face the cross.
• The worship team was not the focus even though they still led.
• A stone was placed on every chair.
• Our stones represented secret sins.
• Worshippers were invited to bring their stones to the cross.
• After confessing our sin, communion was shared.

The followoing pictures come from this experience.

I'd love to hear how the diffences in this worship service helped or hindered your personal engagement with God.
