Worship Lab is our new service, every Sunday at 11:00 am. We call it Worship Lab because we want our worship to be flexible and responsive to the world Jesus loves, and because, like a busy laboratory, it’s full of experiments.
We like to think
of Worship Lab as a three-course brunch, where we start with great coffee and appetizers of conversation and prayer, continue with a main course consisting of ancient stories shared in new ways and what we call “interactivist Holy Communion,” and end where we began, with a moveable feast. We hope that if you worship with us you’ll find that our music and our story-telling feels both fresh and immediate, and at the same time deeply faithful to the ancient traditions of our Christian faith and worship.
Interactivist??? Hey, if world leaders can make up words, so can we. That’s the word we chose to describe worship that provides space and time for those present to interact, create, and take action as part of our time together.
The moveable feast is what we do after communion. Other than the fact that it always involves food, it changes from week to week. Sometimes we’ll stay at church and eat homemade soup and bread. Sometimes we’ll all go out to brunch. Sometimes we’ll take to the streets with sandwiches for people who need them.
Come and see.
