We begin a new worship series this week called Missio Dei, Missio Dei is Latin for “the mission of God.” In this series we will explore the meaning of worship and wonder about how worship relates to mission. Followers of Jesus have often separated worship from mission (or reaching in love as we tend to call it). In this series, we will reflect more deeply on the interrelatedness of worship and mission (on being rooted in Grace and reaching in love).
Outline for Missio Dei
•May 18: Worship & The Mission of God (Acts 17.22-31)
•May 25: Meaning & Purpose of Worship (Acts 17.22-31)
•June 1: Understanding the Parts of Worship (Acts 17.22-31)
•June 8: Pentecost Celebration. Worship as Hospitality & Hope. (Acts 2.1-21)
Consider experiences you have had in worship. What is the purpose of worship for you? Why do you worship?
Now take some time to read Acts 17.22-31.
Acts 17.28 reminds us that in Christ Jesus “we live and move and have our being.”
How has worship helped you to realize this reality more fully?
If you do not worship regularly at The Table consider coming to worship during this series or listening to some of our podcasts to get a feel for our faith community.
