Pastor's meditation... ‘We Gather to Worship’
by Rev. Janet McFall-Brown A Christian is a person who has experienced the call of Jesus Christ to “follow me.” In obedience to the invitation of Christ, Christians now gather with others who have heard the same invitation in order to learn more of the Christ. They come together to interact with God in the Spirit, to eat and drink in His presence, and to celebrate His active working in our sintom world. After coming together we return to the secular world. Having come on Sunday to be refreshed and revived, Christians are to re-enter their community to live as disciples in ways that show forth the Good News of the Gospel to others. Christians gather in various forms to worship. Right here in Nappanee there is great diversity in worship. Joyous singing with tambourine accompaniment; old fashioned, dcarly-bcloved gospel melodies dot the air, before hushed congregations, wcll-practriced choirs stag, “The Lord is in His Holy Temple.” In our area Christians gather in chapels, churches, camp meetings, beside bodies of water, and in public buildings. They sing songs of every description, they pray, preach and listen to God’s word. Christians express themselves in a wide variety of styles. Our worship is shaped through cur cultures, life experiences, creativity, and ethnic expression; all these work together to build many different forms of worship. But the actual essense of worship transcends all form. Worshiping Christians do not sing just any song; they sing love songs to God, thanking Him for all of His wonderous gifts and most of all, they Kids can dial Bible stories Child Evangelism Ministries of Elkhart and LaGrange Counties invites children to use its Call-A-Story program, featuring Bible stories.

praise the name and work of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Christians listen, but not with an ear for entertainment; thev strain to hear the Word of God. Worship is a response on the part of the created to their Creator. God’s activities in our history require a human response. God gives; people receive. God calls; people obey. God judges; people repent God acts; people respond. The beginning, the urge, the impulse, the initiative, is GOD’S. In our Christian history we claim that humans can know God because God has chosen to reveal himself. We do not have a God of the abstract, we serve a God of the concrete. Concrete acts in history disclose God’s ways with His people and the whole of creation. Christianity believes in God’s revelation to humanity through the man, Christ Jesus. It may seem unappealing to some, Jesus Christ bom to a peasant girl, living under the condition of human limitations, was obedient unto God His Father, suffered with and for ALL humankind, died, and then, was wonderfully raised from the dead. Who could believe such a story. I do! All who call themselves Christians do. So we come together, a redemptive people, the Church empowered by .the Holy Spirit. The Church, the living sign in the world today that God is sull in the business of calling out special people to do His special work, inspired by faith and worship. God, in His majesty and Grace, has given us worship. Worship, the core response of those who choose to respond with gratitude for God’s gifts.
