Imagine yourself as a senior pastor of a local church. Your task is to provide guidance to and train the worship leader in your church. What would you like the worship to know? Share at least ten principles that you would like him/her to know?:
- we are invited not initiators: It is not something that we initiate because it is a conversation that has happened before we were born and will continue even when we’re gone. Wide perspective on worship
- it is a reenactment of the salvation story: It is a reenactment which is not just about the story but also God, he is the object of our worship, the reason we do.
- worship by the book: Worship should be by the book, not legalistically but based on what God actually wants
- not focused on the pastor’s image but on the words god speaks through him: Worship needs to be based on God and not on concepts which may move into the space of idolatry, like being solely attracted to the pastor’s personality
- Worship is communal: it is something that should be based on the proving go opportunities to engage in worship with God.
- structure is important: Structure of worship is important, there should be something involved which shows the way that constance cherry and Robbie castleman spell out the structures. Order repetition rhythm variety should be involved
- worship style varies: Worship is not uniform, the style can vary, it can be liturgical, traditional, gospel, contemporary or any other type
- music is important: Music is very important, it does not need to be a specific style or even from a specific culture, must have a concept that glorifies God should follow the function for what is trying to be done in the service
- must be diverse: Must be diverse and multicultural to remember honor and respect the faith and struggles of our brothers and sisters around the world
- consider multicultural struggles: Must take into consideration the struggles and lives of those around the world

cherry
- (gathering (come together)
- Word (hear the word)
- Table (communion)
- Sending (sending out to the world the word of God))
Describe in detail what kinds of liturgical actions are appropriate for each segment of corporate worship service-the gathering, the word, the response to the word, the sending.:
Gathering: invocation prayer, song, scripture should be used so god gets the first word, conclude with a proclamation of God’s grace
The word: a prayer for god to be with us and illuminate us, the message,
The response: a song that may echo the message back, addresses the theme of the sermon, possibly the communion.
Sending: benediction, the sending into the community
