Simple Worship Liturgy in Small Groups
"Simple Worship" is not "shallow worship". In fact, Simple Worship communities may offer some of the most intimate and enriching times of worship in the Lord's presence. A typical order of Simple Worship might include the following:
Gather in the Lord's Name and Exchange the Peace
Either here or elsewhere in the service, all greet one another in the name of the Lord.
Proclaim and Respond to the Word of God
The proclamation and response may include readings, song, talk, dance, instrumental music, other art forms, silence. A reading from the Gospel is usually included.
Pray for the World, the Church, and Each Other
Prepare the Table
Some of those present prepare the table; the bread, the cup of wine.
Celebrate The Eucharist
With use of Christ's words of institution and of the elements ordained by Him. If a priest is present, include a consecration (epiclesis) . Reciting the Lord's Prayer is also encouraged.
