Guidelines to Serve in A Worship Service
7 June 2015
Introduction
Worship is an encounter with God, Almighty. We give Him praises, adoration and sacrifice He, Alone deserves. Through worship, we surrender ourselves to Him and give Him the Lordship in our lives.
The worship leader and team prepare and lead the congregation to meet God and hear His Word. And the congregation could worship God in Truth & Spirit (John 4:24). It is an important and significant service.
Worship
