This is the last post about our night of praise, I promise. I wanted to take several posts to show you all of the different elements we incorporated into the night. We incorporated various expressions of worship for three main reasons:

1. The church should be more creative and less limited in worship.
2. Involving everyone makes the night less of a worship concert and more of a community night of worship.
3. Using art, photography, and writing stations allows the church to capture what God is doing within the community of faith.

In addition to the artists, photographers, and musicians who participated in the night of praise, we also invited the congregation to write what they felt God speaking to them throughout the night. We had a large table set up with a long piece of craft paper and tons of markers. People were able to write as the Lord spoke to them. It was interesting to see a lot of common themes in what was written.

I believe that the church should be the most creative place in the world. With that in mind we incorporated artists into our night of praise. We had to two artists in our church up front painting and sketching during worship.

Sarah – Sketching
