by Magomero, F. Blessings, D.Min., DREW UNIVERSITY, 2011, 128 pages; 3462607

Abstract:

The purpose of this project was to train the Worship Team for a transforming worship design. The training of the Worship Team at the Roselle United Methodist Church has impacted the Worship Team and the congregation in many different ways including but not limited to the following: (1) The spiritual growth of the Worship Team has increased tremendously (2) The Worship Team has owned the role of designing a transforming worship (3) The congregation's spiritual experience has and is growing tremendously each Sunday (4) The average worship attendance on a Sunday morning has increased greatly (5) The unity of leadership has reached its peak in many areas of the church's ministry (6) The relationship between the pastor and the congregation is so deep and miraculously. This is shown by number of people attending meetings (7) The number of people present before worship begins has greatly improved than before.

The project was initiated because of systematic lack of commitment to develop a transforming worship experience to meet the needs of diverse congregation i.e. Anglo, Caribbean Asians and Africans. In an effort to deal with this problem, a Future Search Conference was conducted in which worship was found needing an immediate attention. Four key points were to be taken seriously, and these were; intergeneration differences, cultural differences, style of music and style of worship. This project has brought a tremendous change in the area of worship at the Roselle United Methodist Church. The project was timely.
