Worship in a Life Group

This is second most awkward thing in a life group. Mainly because I think we (leaders) force it. How? Because most of us, while have a BROAD DEFINITION of worship, we have a NARROW APPLICATION of it.

Worship = guy/gal with a guitar + everyone else singing.

So….do you play the guitar? What if you don’t? What if no one in your Life Group can sing either? (I mean, they might have the ability to make noises with their mouth but we’re not calling it singing.) What if the whole scene of sitting around in a circle, staring at each other and singing to each other just makes you feel ….well, like a bad 70′s musical?

There has got to be another way, right? Well, if you just gotta sing – check out these. They are DVDs with praise songs and words on it. Think karoake worship. Good option if you just have to sing.

For the rest of us, what could worship possibly look like? If our understanding of worship is giving God His due – how else can that be done?

I’ll post my own ideas later in the week.

    Hmm….here are some random thoughts — nothing much more than that though –

    *How about group silence or meditation for a period of time?

    *How about silence with people occassionally speaking praises/prayers?

    I think worship is more than giving God His due — I think it is a loving response to His love for us.
