There is lots of talk these days about "traditional" and "contemporary" worship. The problem with terms like these is that they refer to matters of style - style of dress, music, speech. The terms tend to end up meaning that "old" people are supposed to go to one service and "young" people to another. Isn't worship about more than style? Do we really choose worship services the way we choose shoes? The tunes for our MP3 players?
Differences in worship should be about purpose; they should be about meeting the diverse longings and hopes and dreams of a diverse world. Legacy Worship is for people seeking hope and something to build their faith; it is for people who would like worship that is rooted in ancient traditions built over thousands of years AND relevant to the reality of daily life; it is for people who want to experience a connection with God that is filled with the mystery and transcendence of God, while it witnesses to the presence of God in our midst.
All of our worship experiences are centered in God's Word as it is witnessed to in the Bible and as it is preached with passion and meaning. All of our worship is authentically Christian and alive with the Spirit. All of our worship celebrates the sacrament of Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) every Sunday. |
