Why worship?

lent_cross

Worship is a dynamic process in which we offer ourselves to God in praise and thanksgiving. It has a simple structure, the most important aspect of which is that we come together. An essential part of being a Christian is that we worship God together, with others and in community, irrespective of gender, race, marital status.

In today's western world there is a huge emphasis on getting rather than giving; on getting money, not just to have the basic necessities of life, but in order buy things and create an image of what we would like to be.
The mindset of such an outlook is basically self-centred, where I am at the centre of everything and where 'I am defined by what I own or choose to purchase'.   

To define ourselves in such a way is incredibly shallow, only feeds the credit industry, and prevents us from enjoying a much richer life.
