NOTES
Traditional Worship
You may wonder from time to time how we chose the
hymns and music we do for the worship services. The
process starts with prayer. I then read the passage of
Scripture that is the preaching text for the morning.
The preacher for the day has written a short summary of
the main direction of the sermon which I then read. Since
the general direction of the sermons are known months
in advance, the choral pieces are also chosen months in
advance. Each choral anthem is normally rehearsed about
eight weeks in preparation for worship. The hymns and
service music are chosen about a month in advance. The
theme of the morning generally guides the direction of
the service. You will notice that there is most often some
line or verse in the hymn that has a direct bearing on the
Scripture of the day. With all that planning, you may be
thinking, “Where is there room for the Holy Spirit” in
this process?” What we have discovered is that oft times
the Holy Spirit also plans ahead! In one of our worship
services when I was in California we were singing Can You
Feel the Mountains Tremble? and we had a little earthquake
as we were singing! Though we have planned and prepared
for each service, we also endeavor to keep our hearts
opened and tuned to God’s voice as we move through each
time of worship. -Dr. Dan Sharp
