“The Art and Arc of Worship”
Worship Arts Council and Karen Gustafson
What ARE we doing at UCE every Sunday morning? Remarkably each week we show up and, to no one’s surprise, there is something happening at 9:15 and again at 11:00 that some refer to as “worship” and others “Sunday service”, along with some other words or phrases that often reflect either an affinity or a rejection of past Sunday morning “religious” community gatherings. Each week what happens is planned and presented by individuals with intention and care to the quality of all aspects of the order and content to create a whole that might touch the heart or mind or spirit of anyone present. The intention is always an experience that has integrity, that creates a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Come and learn about the elements and the process of how that happens and experience a deepened understanding of the worth and value of Sunday morning, the time and space that hold us as one.
