  1. We Received a Vital Worship Grant!

  2. Our Purpose Statement Because we see our congregation hungry to be led more deeply into spiritual practices and “hands- on” worship, we hope to implement a project that explores the history, theology and practice of multi-sensory worship, in order to promote active participation and co-creative responses to the preaching of the gospel. This plan will be acted out through the facilitation of a number of “worship labs” throughout the year that employ interactive elements and worship stations.

  3. Desired Outcomes • Added vibrancy to worship services. • Develop latent creativity within the congregation. • Help to formalize a creative arts team within the church. • Provide creative leadership to other churches in our city, denomination and network. • Strengthen relationships through worshipping together. • Deepen our love for God and expand our ability to express our love in a multitude of forms.

  4. Grant Program Schedule Summer 2014 • Prepare for the worship theology seminar and hold an informational meeting. • Invite the congregation to join the creative worship team responsible for producing worship labs. • Develop a worship survey gauging the congregation’s impression of interactive worship. • Attend the first Vital Worship Grant Colloquium at Calvin College. • Build and launch the FBC “interactive worship” blog. Fall 2014 • Plan and produce the first worship lab, as well as ask for feedback from attendees. • Present initial findings to the church leadership team. Winter 2014 • Conduct the second worship lab, including a post-lab meal and feedback session for participants. • Include worship lab elements in Advent and Christmas services. • Draft a “Handbook for Interactive Worship.” Spring 2014 • Conduct the third and fourth worship lab, including interactive elements in Lenten and Easter services. Summer 2015 • Complete the “Handbook for Interactive Worship.” • Conduct a final worship survey gauging the congregation’s impression of interactive worship. • Attend the second Vital Worship Grant Colloquium at Calvin College and present final findings.

  5. What does this mean for you? • If you attend here on Sunday mornings, there will be new elements periodically added to the service. We will try to lead and explain these practices so they encourage spirit-filled, scripture-based worship and not be a distraction. • There is an opportunity for you to study the theology of worship through a year-long seminar taught by Mike Phay. If you think you might be interested, please join us tonight at 6pm for an informational meeting. • There will be the opportunity to join in developing interactive expressions of worship, as we produce a series of “worship labs” throughout the year. • You will be invited to attend the worship labs and participate in interactive worship.The worship labs will be open to the congregation and the community.
