Our Genesis services utilize an environmental lighting effect

called haze, a theatrical humidifier to thicken the air to enhance
lighting. Both Lee Fellowship Hall and Sanctuary hazers are
water-based and safe.

NOTES
TRADITIONAL WORSHIP
On this particular Sunday when we turn our attention
to caring for the poor and the afflicted, let me
encourage you to turn to No.431 in your hymnal in
preparation for worship. There you will find the words
of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, in a prayer for those in
need. If there was ever a person in our lifetime who
gave her life to serving the poor and hurting, it was
she. One of the strengths of this new hymnal is all of
the resources it brings to worship beyond the well-
chosen hymn collection. I know we live in an age of
screens in worship and screens in abundance,
(i.e. phones, laptops, iPads, and so forth), but let
us not abandon books. How many hymns have you
memorized off the screens? Can you meditate or reflect
on a line from a screen? What about reading the verses
of a hymn as you prepare for worship? Do you have any
sense of how a tune goes from the screen? And for the
singers, how do you sing parts from a screen? If you
want to look up as you sing, hold the hymnal higher!
There is nothing wrong with screens, but there are
limitations. One of the glories of the Reformation was
books, books in the language of the people. Let me
encourage you: whether it is your Bible or some other
book, read, memorize, and reflect. A book needs no
electricity to work and their batteries never run out!
