The Evening Youth Service (EYS) is lively and very different. The congregation (~25 strong) is mostly teenagers, plus a few 'old fogies' (like Steve). We dispense with ordered lines of chairs and gather in groups around tables; so we can chat better. The extra space also means we get to play games on the service theme halfway through. The preacher is challenged to give a short, pithy address. Led by our band, XiD, the power point based worship is modern and lively. Whilst, when it comes to prayer at EYS, 'interactive' is the name of the game. Sometimes we stand up and wander round, sometimes we set fire to things (mostly candles). Pictures, posters and all sorts are also used to get us involved in praying to God. With the morning congregation we share both a love of Jesus and a love of snacks and light beverages. So, at the end of our services we always provide refreshements and munch on them over games of pool, table tennis etc. But just so we're clear, our desire is to have Jesus in the centre of every single thing we do during the service. It's just we think that he likes to be worshipped by people who are finding worship a whole lot of fun. |
