Our Focus on Worship |
|
Last week I met with a troop of Brownies -- young Girl Scouts -- who were having their first meeting in one of our classrooms. Their leader is very excited about the possibilities for joint service projects, and I came to welcome them to St. Mark’s, show them around, and tell them about all the good things we do here. So, how are we paying attention to worship as a ministry? We've tried to make worship easier to attend by adjusting our worship time. We've tried to include as many members in the worship service as possible and streamline our scheduling of worship leaders. In the future we need to expand our hymn choices, catch up on the maintenance of the piano and organ, upgrade our sound system, and reconfigure our seating to make it more accessible, especially to our older and less physically able worshipers. Of all the ministries at St. Mark's, worship is the prime ministry, the source of our inspiration and power. - Pastor Elizabeth Larsen |
