Blog 2 - Worship

I have grown up in church, but there are many different types of worship services. I currently attend the First Baptist Church of Richardson and I enjoy their Sunday morning worship. Last semester, I went to a church in Grapevine called Fellowship Church with a friend from UNT on a Saturday night. This service was a very different service than I am accustomed to on Sunday mornings. It was more like services at youth camp during the summer. I love that kind of worship.

I've attended a couple different churches growing up, and they all seem to sing a few the traditional songs that most people know, like this one for example. This is "Blessed Be Your Name".



Then, there are a couple ones that aren't as well know. What is neat about the song selection at the Fellowship Church is that though they do sing some of the regulars, they also sing songs that the musicians wrote themselves. To me, that can make the song a lot more personal, knowing that the person on stage singing it wrote it. Yes, many Christian artists do so too, but the fact that they are folk music instead of popular, brings them closer to my level, it seems. Not only that, but the worship is more interactive than the Sunday morning usual. The worship is more like this. This is one of my favorites, Jeff Johnson singing "Glorious Day".



Though I do think that the heart behind the worship is all that matters, I do think that different styles mean more to different people and I would like to go into deeper analysis of this unique church's style of worship.
