    majority of her text focuses on the worship environment generally, but later she focuses on music, preaching, and liturgy specifically. According to Dawn, a gathering of believers should emphasize God as the subject and object of worship, challenge each individual to grow in godly character, and accentuate the community of believers (not only in the room, but throughout history as well). Through this grid, she encourages leaders and participants to evaluate each worship

    Decision-making has never been my forte, exactly. I once drove around town with a friend for forty minutes as we exchanged variants of, “I don’t know. Where do you want to eat?” My proclivity for avoiding to outright choose one thing over another has been deeply inset since I was very young, and I believe it probably stems from an intense fear of rejection. Needless to say, the choice to commit to something I cannot see was one that was daunting and, for a long time, seemed puerile. Upon my mother

    Ever since I was in my mother’s womb, music was a part of me. Music was a part of me because of my dad. He has been playing the guitar and singing even before him and my mom even met.

Turns out music became my passion. Listening to music and eventually playing it became my everything. When I was younger

    Worship Analysis #2 For my second analysis, I went to a church in my hometown of Paris, Texas called Freedom Church. This church is a new non-denominational church that is trying to reach to the “de-churched and unchurched” as their tag line says.

    authors of this music are not Lutheran, a problem that is recognized by both sides of the argument. “And for those who would point to the genre of Christian contemporary music and say it lacks theological depth and fullness, I would say this: What do you expect? It's mostly lay-people who aren't Lutheran who are writing this stuff!”1 “The fact remains that there's so much garbage out there, you have to constantly be on guard when straying from orthodox hymns. … The praise & worship genre has so many

    Since this was not the main campus, the sermon had to be watched on the screen. However, the music was live. This service had a casual and contemporary feel. Although this church is Southern Baptist, it did not have the typical Baptist feel. Everything seemed to be more casual, modern, and laid back, especially before and after the service. Interestingly, even though this service was very modern and contemporary, there was still a great lack of diversity. Their staff, volunteers, band, and pastors were
