Contextualizing Worship

"We have found that the goal shouldn't be to maintain the past or to always be on the cutting edge. Our goal is to worship in a way that represents our community to God and God to our community. That means contextualizing worship for today, but not forgettting the family of God throughout history to which we belong."

Reflection:

For those of you who lead in a more traditional setting: Do you find your worship connecting across generations? What works? Where are you struggling?

For those in a more contemporary setting: As you look at your demographics, are you connecting with people across the demographic spectrum? What age group is predominate? Who is missing and why?
