Lenten Devotional

Still Small Voice, watercolour on cotton

Day 23 (Thursday)  

We offer worship       
     as an outpouring of gratitude and awe       
     and a practice of opening ourselves       
     to God’s still, small voice of comfort,       
     to God’s rushing whirlwind of challenge.
Through word, music, art, and sacrament,       
     in community and in solitude,       
     God changes our lives, our relationships, and our world.
We sing with trust.  

Why do you worship?
What is the purpose of worship?
What do you receive/give in worship?When/where/how do you worship?
What change have you ever noticed in your life, relationships, the world that came about through worship?
