Our Worship Life
The Reformed Church of Bushkill has two similar services each Sunday. Each has its own different character however. The morning service, at 10:30, has a lot of energy and music. This is the service at which our band plays and choir sings. It typically lasts an hour-and-a-quarter. Our evening service is smaller, quieter and more relational. Each Sunday evening, we leave time to talk with each other during the service about what God is saying to us through the Scripture lesson.
Our diversity and commonality dramatically influence the way we worship. On a given Sunday, you might hear Gospel, rock ‘n’ roll and traditional hymns. You’ll hear the Bible examined in depth, while we also remember that not everyone has much familiarity with Scripture. We’ll use everyday language to talk about the truths of Scripture that guide our everyday lives.
Our worship is an interesting amalgam of traditional Reformed liturgy and modern elements. You’ll hear electric guitars and maybe see a movie clip that illustrates a point from the sermon. We also, though, follow the liturgical format that the Reformed Church has used for nearly 500 years. This Reformed liturgy moves us through the drama and mystery of salvation each Sunday. Above all, this liturgy keeps the Word of God central to our worship.
