This Is Worship
1 Corinthians 14:26
Brothers and sisters,
God is here among you.
When you come together,
each person
has a vital role
because each person
has gifts.
One person might have a song,
another a lesson to teach,
still another a revelation from God.
One person might speak
in an unknown language,
another will offer the interpretation.
All of this should be done
to strengthen the life and faith
of the community.

• Pray through a Psalm or Scripture

Below are a few things we’ve learned
facilitating worship in this fashion
that may help you…
• Encourage participants to be bold
if they feel led to speak
• Encourage participants to be
comfortable if there are periods
of silence
• Encourage participants to be sensitive
that they’re not always the one speaking
• Participants are welcome to journal
or draw during the gathering
• If your gathering doesn’t have
a worship leader, be encouraged to
sing songs using iTunes, Spotify, etc.
• If participants don’t know a song,
they can find lyrics via Google
• If some participants aren’t comfortable
singing out loud at first, encourage them
to simply pray the lyrics
• Always begin and end with prayer.
God bless you, friend.
