Life as Worship
Why a Worship Conference? Because the word "worship" is one of the most used and least understood words in all of Christian jargondom. While there are many aspects of Worship that we won't even begin to touch, my hope is that by focusing on a few implications of Romans 12:1 that we will be able to better understand what we mean when we talk about worship, and will thus be in a better position to actually worship God with our lives.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. (Romans 12:1, ESV)
Life
as Worship Conference
Hosted by:
South Lake Youth Ministries, Inc.
Overview
Goal:
The goal of this conference is the
equipping of students, church members, and all people to worship God
in all of life. We desire to introduce Christians to an idea of
worship that is broader than simply singing in church on Sunday
morning (as important as that is!).
Outline:
Friday, May 24th:
6:30- An Introduction to Worship:
Will Dole
What is worship? Is it possible to
worship God with all of my life, or is this an activity restricted to
church buildings?
7:20- Break
7:35- Music as Worship: Levi Kilian
If music and singing are not the sum
total of what worship means, what role do they play?
8:25- Corporate Worship in Singing
and Prayer
Saturday, May 25th:
9:00- Work as Worship: Pastor Dave
Donnerberg
What does it mean to work as unto the
Lord, rather than men? How can we worship God in the seemingly
mundane activities of work (and school)?
9:50- Break
10:10- Family Life as Worship:
Pastor Brian Primer
How do I worship God in my role as
parent, spouse, or child? What is unique about these relationships
that allow us to display God’s glory to the world?
11:00- Break
11:15- Art as Worship: Karey Stivers
What role does artistic expression play
in lives of believers, both individually and corporately? Should
Christians be primarily concerned with self expression or expression
of transcendent truth through the use of the arts?
12:05- Break for Lunch
1:15- Reading and Writing as
Worship: Will Dole
How can reading and writing help me
worship God, and how can I worship God in these activities?
2:05- Break
2:15- Q & A
We will take written questions
throughout, and attempt to answer a few of them during the Q&A
session at the end.
3:00- Closing Song and Prayer
Location:
Plummer Bible Church, 1090 D St,
Plummer, ID 83851
Date
and time:
Friday May 24th, 6:30 PM - 9
PM and
Saturday May 25th, 9 AM - 3
PM.
Cost:
Adult rate: $25 if registered before
May 15th, $30 at the door.
Student (under 18) rate: $15 if
registered before May 15th, $20 at the door.
Target:
We are welcoming anyone with a desire
to know God more, and seeking to glorify Him in all their life. Lower
student rates are offered because SLY has a particular heart to see
young people transformed by the Word of God, and we want to make
these resources as easily accessible for them as possible.
Food
and Accommodations:
There will be a soup and sandwich lunch
served at the church on Saturday, free of charge. Individuals are
responsible for all other meals.
For those traveling from out of town
and needing a place to stay, please be sure to contact us by the 15th
and we will go over possible accommodations.
Summary:
While a few hours in not even close to
what it would take to thoroughly cover this topic, our hope is that
we will give believers a grander picture of what worship is than the
one our modern church culture has painted for them. We hope to give
practical application through the sessions, focusing on matters of
everyday life.
