James 1: Two Calls to Worship

James 1: 17-25 One: Come now and worship God For every good and perfect thing is from above Many: Given by the Father of heaven All: We worship you, unchanging Father One: We are the first-fruits of God’s creatures Many: Birthed by God’s word All: We worship you, Mother of truth One: We are brothers and sisters Many: We are hearers of the word, we are doers of the word All: We worship you, righteous God ------ One: We gather in the house of God, Many: We gather with the people of God, One: to worship God. Many: to hear God’s word. One: The word of God Many: is a good and perfect gift, given from above. One: God gave us birth Many: through the word of truth. One: God planted this word in us. Many: It has power to save us. One: Be doers of the word, Many: not only hearers. One: Listen to the word, Many: to live in God’s righteousness.

Giving Credit

This blog set-up is shamelessly ripped from my friend (and mentor!) Joanna's blog Spacious Faith . I, like Joanna, love writing stuff: curriculum, liturgical resources, etc. A lot of times I write straight from what I see in scripture, but a lot of other times I also look at other people's stuff for inspiration. So here, y'all, here are some of my resources that I have written that I might as well share, so you can have a starting point. I'm in the process of going through old things, cleaning them up, and posting. I have written a lot  of youth camp and retreat resources over the years, so get excited! Feel free to use my stuff in your worship setting. Crediting is great; a little asterisk* in the bulletin works fine. Feel free to just use my initials** they are really popular with the youths. I'd rather you not profit off my writing like it's you own, but if you do find a way to profit LMK because I'd like to get in on the take. *Asia Frye **AF

I cried at the beginning of last summer. It was the last day my family was worshipping at the church where we had attended for 11 years, where I had been the youth pastor, where my girls were born, with the people who rebuilt my house after the fire . It was also the last Sunday some of our best friends would be there. They were moving to Iowa. I cried from the moment worship began and all through the carry-in meal. I cried as I told them, “Thank you for allowing me to help raise your children and for helping me to raise mine.” That was the last time. Before that, I cried twice in the fall of 2018: both pretty intense circumstances. But, generally, the tears don’t come. They ball into a painful pressure at the top of my sternum. (Yes, I am aware that’s the heart chakra.) The world feels like it’s falling down. I have n...
