This is our Meeting for Worship. But what does worship mean?
Surely, worship is acknowledging, celebrating, praising and giving thanks to the Holy Spirit, but I think it is much more than that. For those of us who believe there is that of God in every person, worship is also a time for celebrating, praising and giving thanks for that of God in each other. Nor is worship in its fullest sense a one-way endeavor any more than we parents would want our children only to celebrate, praise and thank us – remaining dependent on us and neglecting their potential.
Worship is finding, honoring and listening to that of God within ourselves – and within each other – and growing in love, courage and our capacities for service.
