Worship Study: Planning Assignment Instructions
Overview
The purpose of the
Worship Study Assignment is to communicate important principles of worship. This communication could be effective for a number of ministry opportunities. You will complete a plan and then develop one devotional
related to the core content in our course.
Instructions
For this assignment, you will complete the
Worship Study Planning Template that will aid in developing your devotionals. Keep in mind this is not the actual writing of the devotional, it is only the plan. This plan should include:
·
Who – Determine your audience. For the purposes of this course, you do not need to actually present the devotionals. However, you should think through areas in your ministry where it is appropriate to share a devotional. For example, if you are a worship leader or aspiring worship leader, it would be appropriate to tailor your devotionals toward your worship team members. If you serve with the student ministry at your church, you might gear your devotionals to teenagers. Determine the most fitting audience for your devotionals.
·
Why – Explain why it is important for your chosen audience to understand the principles of worship. What are the current circumstances they may be facing? What truths do they need to hear? What are the cultural factors within the ministry and within your geographic region that necessitate this study?
·
What – Determine one devotional topic from the following options:
· We Were Created to Worship
· Worship the Names of God
· Brokenness in Worship
· Worship As a Way of Life
· Public and Private Worship
· Worship and Service
· Worship and Witness
· The Role of the Worship Leader
As we learn about new worship principles each week, keep in mind the “who”, “why”, and “what” of your devotional plan. This will make it easier to put your devotional together later in the course. (More direction regarding “how” can be found in the
Worship Study: Devotional Assignment.)
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
