Guidelines for Planning Presbytery Worship

The Guidelines are provided by the Theology and Worship Committee

Time Frame:  In consideration of the lengthy drives many experience, it is requested that we contain the worship time to 12-15 minutes.

Purpose of Worship: Our worship time is intended:
    - to increase our awareness of God's presence with us as a gathered people
    - to invoke the presence of the Holy Spirit upon us and our work
    - to empower us to serve in our work as presbyters

Structure of Worship:  We recommend:
    Words of Welcome & Call to Worship
    Prayer
    Scripture Lesson

    Two Musical Selections (2 hymns, or 1 hymn, 1 anthem)
    Reflection Time - (5 minutes)

Resources:  There are various creative worship resources available through the UCPH such as Reader's Theatre.  Magazines such as Exchange and Gathering offer seasonal prayers, calls to worship and plays, dramatic readings, etc.
