When you hear the word “worship,” what is the picture in your mind? It is people raising their hands? Singing loudly? Eyes closed? Faces upward? You would not be alone if that is the picture you have of worship and while that could be part of worship, there is so much more! Our vision as a church is “Everyone a worshiper,” but what does that mean and why does it matter? Discover the beauty and power of radically unabashed worship this Sunday as we explore “Be a Worshiping Church,” part of the “God’s Assignment to NAC Series.”
