This is the presentation done by Sis Elizabeth Role during the Church Workers' Seminar held at the Baraton University Church on Saturday 23rd January 2016
We know the dictionary definition of worship (a feeling, or devotion to a deity), and we have read John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth"; but, what does the Bible teach us about the subject of worship? This is a series of lessons that gets to the heart of worship and what it really means for Christians.
Music Ministry is serving and sharing the word of God through music. We strive to encourage others to channel their music into their life of faith and lead the congregation in worship.

EVANGELISM 101: Lesson 1 - Biblical Foundations of EvangelismFrancis Hernandez
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (Romans 10:13-15)
"It (Evangelism) comes from the same Greek word for gospel (euangelion) and means, literally, “gospeling.” When we evangelize we are “gospeling” — we are spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ." - https://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/what-evangelism/
Every Christian is called to do the divine task of evangelism. Evangelism is a task not just for the select churches, or for the evangelists or pastors. This is Lesson 1 of EVANGELISM 101 Series. Given last April 23, 2021 at HOPE Christian Fellowship in Guinobatan, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines by Ptr. Francis S. Hernandez.

Catholic Church ReflectionIntroductionSomeone attending Mass f.docxcravennichole326
Catholic Church Reflection
Introduction
Someone attending Mass for the first time may find the whole experience confusing. This does not mean that the Mass is conducted in a disorderly manner but the ceremonies and traditions observed are puzzling. Many Catholic churches reflect the culture of the time they were established and congregations have been using them for a long time. The architectural designs also vary, with some being small wooden cottages while others are massive cathedrals. They may be different culturally and architecturally but their interior arrangement and furnishings are almost similar. For instance, they all have a crucifix, carvings of the Stations of the Cross, candles, holy water, a Mary altar, and confessionals.
The purpose of this paper is to reflect on observations made after attending Mass in a dedicated worship place while making connections between them and ideas from the book ‘Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship.’
The experience of church and connections with the book
I totally went to two churches. The first one is the Christ Church at Kettering, so I can compare the differences and similarities between Catholic Church and Christ Church. It can make me feel more about the church cultures. I will describe how the church looks like and how people listen the mass. It is my first visit to a Catholic Church. The primary impression for me to this church is brightness and holy. The windows are most beautiful and characteristic I have ever seen. Every single window is decorative and has different patterns. I think the different patterns on the windows mean the different holy stories. In front of the church, there is a statue here, which look like a people was crucified. It is the crucifix. And before people went in and seat, people will dip a little bit holy water from the pool and draw the sign of the cross. At the beginning, candles will be lit. I think it is the signal that the mass begins. And then the Priest will lead us to do the mass, and we need to respond to him. I remembered he started with “ Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah !”
I know this word means “Praise the Lord”. And from the book <Sing to the Lord >, I know the importance and responsibility of the Priest. No other single factor affects the Liturgy as much as the attitude, style, and bearing of the priest celebrant, who” expresses prayers in the name of the Church and of the assembled community” What’s more, the importance of the priest’s participation in the Liturgy, especially by singing, cannot be overemphasized. The priest sings the presidential prayers and dialogues of the Liturgy according to his capabilities. (page 7, 1st and 2nd paragraphs)
When I was doing the pray and responding to the Priest, I am a little bit nervous. Because I don’t know the steps and what I should do. So I just follow others, and do some imitations. And during the mass, music play and important role, so the instrument is a crucial part for us. According to th ...

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Be joyful and sing as
you come in to
worship the Lord!
(Psalm 100:2)
3. Music In the Bible
God Himself lays such
importance on the
ministry of music
that He placed more
than 500 references to it in Scriptures.
First mention of music is in Gen. 4:21.
Last mention of music is in Rev. 18:22.
4. When the morning stars sang
together, and all the sons of God
shouted for joy.
5. MUSIC – GOD’S GIFT
• Music is one of God's great gifts to man and
is one of the most important elements in a
spiritual program.
It is an avenue of
communication with
God, and "is one of the
most effective means of impressing the
heart with spiritual truth"
(Education, p. 168).
6. “Next to the preaching of God’s
eternal Word, there is no more
powerful ministry in the church than
that of music to touch lives and
prepare hearts”.
Music is
the right
hand of the
Ministry.
7. Selecting Music Coordinators
The church should
take great care in
selecting music leaders,
choosing only those
who are thoroughly
consecrated and provide appropriate
music for all church worship services
and meetings. (SDA Church Manual p. 92)
8. Leadership in Church Music
is under the direction of the pastor or elders and
does not work independently
should counsel with them about the music to be
rendered and the selection of singers and
musicians.
should work closely with the pastor or elders in
order that musical selections harmonize with the
sermon theme
(SDA Church Manual p. 92)
The music leader…
9. Responsibilities of Music Coordinator

Bulletin
Serve on the Worship Committee
10. COMMITTEE
This committee assists in finding talent
and scheduling musicians for the
worship service.
This group works creatively with the
music coordinator to develop ideas for
expanding the church existing music
program.
11. COMMITTEE
Members
Pastor or Elder
Head pianist
Head song leader
Additional 2 members
or more in a big church
(combination of young
and adult members)
12. Selecting Musicians
The church must exercise
care in selecting choir
members and other
musicians who will rightly
represent Church principles.
They should be members of the church, the
Sabbath school, or the Adventist Youth Society.
Because they occupy a conspicuous place in church
services, they should be examples of modesty and
decorum in their appearance and dress.
13. Music In Church
Sacred music is an important part
of public worship… Secular music or
that of a questionable
nature should never
be introduced into our services.
14. Music a Power for Good
Music can be made a great power for good…
Music should have beauty, pathos, and power.
Let the voices be lifted in songs of praise and
devotion. Call to your aid, if practicable,
instrumental music, and let the glorious harmony
ascend to God, an acceptable offering.
Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 4, p. 71.
15. MUSIC IN WORSHIP SERVICE
• Worship should be the primary and eternal
activity of mankind. Man's highest end is to
glorify God. As the worshiper comes to the
house of God to offer a sacrifice of praise, let
it be with the best possible music.
16. MUSIC IN WORSHIP SERVICE
• Careful planning of every musical element of
the service is essential so that the
congregation is led to be a participant and not
a spectator.
17. Music in Worship Service
• The instrumentalist responsible for accompanying
congregational singing has an especially great
responsibility to set the right standard in all his
contributions, be they preludes or postludes,
offertories or other voluntaries, or
accompaniment of
hymns. He/she
is in a unique
position to raise the
level of worship
music in his church.
18. Music Acceptable to God
Music is acceptable to God only when the heart
is sanctified and made soft and holy by its
facilities. {Evangelism 512.1}
…when the heart is cleansed
and sanctified, and the members
of the church are partakers of the divine nature,
a power will go forth from the church, who
believe the truth, that will cause melody in the
heart. {Evangelism 512.3}
19. Musical Talent
However small your talent, God has a place
for it. That one talent, wisely used, will
accomplish its appointed work. By
faithfulness in little duties, we are to work on
the plan of addition, and God will work for us
on the plan of multiplication. These littles will
become the most precious influences in His
work.--"Christ's Object Lessons," p. 360.
20. Church Decorations and Florals
Ministry
• Church florists work to beautify the church
with floral arrangements and decorations in
order to enhance worship.
• Selecting and arranging plant material for
the sanctuary has two aims: order and
beauty. The arranger must keep these two
goals uppermost and observe known
principles for their attainment.
