[Dialogue] Contemporary Worship Service

[Dorcas Rose]

Our church is experimenting with a media-based contemporary worship held in
the Fellowship Hall instead of the sanctuary for January and February.   I
will send you a bulletin.   the music is a struggle, because the planning
team found few resources, but we are usingm "the Faith We Sing" and
carefully chosen hymns from the hymnal.

The Soul Cafe Coffee House format we have been doing in the evenings seems
to be a dead end, in terms of attracting new people.   It does not have a
bulletin but the format is as follows:  there is a set of music from a guest
musical individual or group, a movie clip, some remarks from the pastor,
then another music set, and then a life question posed, followed by a
sendout.

Subject: [Dialogue] Contemporary Worship Service


Many churches are experimenting with two worship options on Sunday. One is
the more traditional and the other is contemporary. I am working with a
church
in Houston which is doing this, however, the contemporary service is not
very
contemporary except the loud instrumentation. The content of the music and
rituals is traditional or evangelical in nature. If you know of a
contemporary
service that uses 20th century music, content, and instruments could you
please
send me a copy of a typical bulletin. I would like to share it with the
church
I am consulting. My address is: 304 Peebles Street, Sewickley, PA 15143.
Thanks kindly, Vance Engleman
