  2. Worship Drivers of Vitality • Vital churches offer a mix of contemporary(newer forms of worship style) and traditional services. • Vital churches have preachers who tend to use more topical sermons series in traditional services

  3. Worship Drivers of Vitality • Vital churches use more contemporary music (less blended music that includes traditional tunes) in contemporary services. • Vital churches use more multi-media in contemporary services (some congregations in other parts of the world may have limited access or do not use multi-media to the same extent and therefore it may not be as important as in some cultures.)

  4. Traditional and/or Contemporary • Develop a worship planning team • Analyze the worship culture of your church and community. • Research and utilize United Methodist resources as well as other faith groups. • Explore, and use ideas, how other congregations worship.

  5. Topical and/or Lectionary Preaching • Pray • Engage congregation in conversation on possible sermon areas • Pray • Stay tuned to the pain of the larger community. • Pray • Make effective, Christ-engaging preaching your highest priority.

  6. Music • Make music leadership participation a high priority for the Worship Planning Team. • Research and utilize United Methodist music resources • Research and utilize music resources from other denominations/groups. • Research and utilize the music talents in the congregation and community. • Whether Traditional or Contemporary, coordinate music with worship theme.
