John
Rackley says: I believe worship is far more important than whether we like the
music, what the Minister says or whether we like the people we are with. Worship
is paying attention to God. So we need to ask whether all that we include in a
service is about the God we believe in. I think any worshipper needs to ask these
questions:
Why do I need to be here today?
Do I really wish to have an
encounter with God and His people today?
Am I here to seek how the Lord is
going to help me serve him with other Christians in his world?
I try to shape services that help people receive the answers to these questions.
What
I enjoy most about our Sunday worship is the variety of people who come. They
will come from all over the world. They may be on holiday or just coming on the
off-chance. It has been wonderful how these people especially have received from
God what they have needed during their time with us.
As our regular congregation
becomes smaller God calls us to look beyond our circumstances and is showing us
that He still has a reason for this to be a place of prayer and spiritual re-awakening.
