What is the point of Sunday morning worship? Is it for believers? Seekers? Both?
Does it matter whether we're sining hymns with a choir and an organ or raising our hands to contemporary praise songs with guitars and drums?
What does the Bible say about it all?
Creeds? Responsive readings/liturgy... how often should we be taking communion? Who should be leading singing? Should we even be using instruments? Who says?
Evan McClanahan will be repping for "Team Liturgy," and talking about how high church is more than just a preferred style.
Mon'Sher Spencer will advocate for a more contemporary "low church" feel and share her own experience as a worship leader in that context.
And THEN.... THEN we will all worship together BOTH WAYS! Each "side" will get 5 minutes to lead us in worship their preferred way - pipe organ AND guitar/keys.... beer in hand. What a way to close out the night.
NOTE - this event is going to be held in the SANCTUARY of First Lutheran, unlike many other events we've held at this church. So - go in the doors to the main sanctuary. After all, if we're going to be arguing about worship, we should at least be in a worship space!
6:30-7:00 - Social hour with food (those tickets are $15 and cannot be bought at the door)
7:00-9:00 - Event (regardless of what time you arrive, if you're not eating, the tickets are $10. $15 at the door)
You CAN pay on Eventbrite, but because they charge a hefty fee, we offer the alternative to choose the "free" ticket and then pay on another platform:
- Venmo (use @theologybythepint)
- Zelle (use [email protected])
We recommend Zelle since they don't charge a fee!
Register and buy your tickets asap and share with a friend!
