It’s Sunday morning and the faithful have gathered. I knew that the senior pastor here at Hometown Friends Church was at the coast as speaker for the Friends family camp. But the worship folder isn’t telling me who will be speaking this morning. Nothing indicates that there will be a message. It turns out we are doing “Worship 101” this morning. What do we do with this hour each week? Why do we do it? How can we get more out of it? Four people contributed focusing on four different areas—music, scripture, open worship, and the sermon.

One of the points was that worship is not about me, it’s about God. I wonder how different going to church would be for me is I were able to set aside my self-centeredness?
