Ryan at reformworship.com has an open letter to his congregation about the structure of worship at their church.
Could your Sunday work like this?
We have moved the bulk of our musical worship from the beginning of our Celebrations to the end. This way we have already received the Word and Communion and have a whole lot more to respond to. We have seen a tremendous increase in worship response from just about everyone since we have made this change. There seems to be a much greater connection happening in our hearts and minds, and sometimes even out bodies. Our Worship Ministry volunteers have sacrificed a large chunk of their time for the sake of leading this church in a better worship response.
