different ways to worship

Right before the Worship Cafe met in the South Venue of the Wexford Campus, fmlive! met with what looked like over 200 parents and kids in the room. The music was pumpin'. The graphics were tight. The lights were on cue. The memorized lines were spot on. The overall program was funny and engaging. This was an incredible way for parents and their kids to worship God.

Immediately after fmlive!, the Worship Cafe met in the South Venue, and we worshiped God with 1 acoustic guitar and 150+ voices. The simplicity was profound. Lights were low. Simple graphics underlying the song lyrics. The music was a mix of new songs and old hymns. We listened to a profound sermon by Pastor Scott Stevens as he wrapped up our "Relational Remedies" series. We took communion together and celebrated the new life of significance that we receive because of Jesus. This was another incredible way for folks of the Worship Cafe to worship God.

2 distinctly different ways to worship God. I am thankful for both experiences in the same room.
