Liturgy

Our worship gatherings follow a pattern that has guided Christian worship for centuries: the four-fold liturgy* of Gathering, Word, Table, and Sending Forth.

Here is an example of how that pattern might be applied at Artisan:

Gathering

• Call to worship: a reading from Scripture or the early church
• Congregational singing: two hymns or songs
• Confession: a creed or confession of sin
• Passing of the peace and more congregational singing
• Congregational prayers

Word

• Scripture readings
• Sermon

Table

• Celebrating Communion; prayer with Prayer Team

Sending Forth

• Closing congregational songs
• Offering/announcements/blessing

* Did you know? Liturgy can be defined as “the work of the people”.
