i was not there for all the mike slaughter speak at last week's congress on evangelism. but i made his session on 'passionate worship' and took a few notes.
creating a passionate worship environment comes from asking
- what is the theme
- what is the felt need
- desired outcome
5 dimensions of worship in creative process
- the message: preaching, teaching, & healing
- the medium: environments are an important 'theology of space'
- the mystery: how do we experience the presence of God
- the music: (nuff said, i didn't take any added note)
- the mission: clarify what matters for God
i don't usually comment on my notes. usually there are completely exhaustive. these are not for some reason. i liked mike's presentation, but i found little transferable to my own context that i don't already have my own framework for implementing. that's not a bash of ginghamsburg or mike, i really like what they do, but nothing resonated.. except maybe that they use a lot of video to connect their community to ministry narratives.
