Worship
is the practice of “stepping away” from the
pattern and press of daily life to intentionally
love God. In doing so, the disciple gains a
deeper understanding and experience of the
majesty, mercy and mystery of God. In worship we
praise God for being God, for being our God! The
disciple can “step away” from the routine of the
moment to honor God in numerous ways: through
participation in the public event of a worship
service; through the creative act of art, drama,
dance, craft, music and song; through listening
to a sermon or receiving the sacrament; through
an encounter of God in the beauty of creation,
and more. While “worship” is more than what we
often mean by the word “worship,” the maturing
disciple acknowledges that the act of corporate
worship within the context of a celebrating
congregation is key and necessary to a
disciple’s walk and life of devotion.
Part of a disciple’s
job description is to worship God regularly.
At St. John's worship is extended
