Worship Ministry
Psalm 96:1-3- "Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!"
At McDermot, worship is more than lyrics on a screen, or music to be played. We strive for worship to be our lifestyle, where we praise and serve God in all aspects of our lives because of His amazing grace. We are called to ‘worship in spirit and truth’ (John 4:24), and we engage corporately to praise our God every Sunday morning through music, listening and responding, Scripture reading, and giving. Through these avenues our prayer is that all who come can enter into His presence. Drama is an ever-growing aspect of our worship services, presented through monologues, short vignettes, or longer scripts.
There are several ways for committed Christians to be involved in the Worship Ministry at McDermot:
-
Worship team member (singer/instrumentalist)
-
Audio/Visual team member
-
Drama team member
-
Decorator
