Throughout our worship series focused on a single psalm each week that becomes part of the New Testament playlist, our regular order of worship has been changed from a linear progression to a kaleidoscopic experience centering on the psalm.

Key changes and new elements include:

Embodiment: the Psalm becomes a spoken Word through deeper congruence with the emotional self.

Meditation: a five-minute moment of silence for reflection and note-taking after the Embodiment which ends with the Passing of the Peace.  Please note your feelings and memories in the space provided in the bulletin.

Reflection:  a homily suggesting the emotional and theological connection of a section of the psalm with a New Testament writer.

Engagement:  a layperson shares how the particularities of the psalm connect, challenge, trouble, or liberate their own soul.  The Engagement continues after worship in Discussion in the Gathering Place where others are invited to share their notes and “ah ha’s.”  Look for a group gathering at the big table near the stained-glass windows in the Gathering Place.
