Glory to God. He is good and His mercy endures forever!
I was sharing my worship seminar Getting from Here to There at Capital City church in Madison, Wisconsin. I was trying to help them understand what I meant by flowing, seamless worship. In my mind I envisioned start/stop, stand up/sit down worship like reading a book and pausing each time a page is turned. God gave me a mental image of seamless worship as being like a scroll: one long page that gets unrolled. I shared that thought with the group, saying, “Don’t turn pages in your worship service…unroll it like a scroll.”
The next morning, as the worship team was gathered in the pastor’s study to pray for the service, the pastor cast his vision for the team to let the service flow seamlessly and unroll like a scroll. He reminded the persons who were going to read scripture aloud and lead the prayer time to be in their places and ready to go at the proper time and without delay.
The service flowed smoothly. Distractions were at a minimum. The Spirit was hovering in the room amd moving among us. The people were captivated by His beauty and were able to enter into His presence.
The point of creating a seamless worship service is not to be slick or showy. It is to create a worshipful atmosphere with minimal distractions in order to help God’s people keep their focus on Him.
Seamlessly yours,
Scott Jasmin
