Last night a group of us from church went to the Worship Central #100Gatherings event in Sheffield:
The aim was to hold 100 different prayer & worship meetings in 100 different worldwide locations over 10 days, and Sheffield (hosted by St Thomas Crookes church, which runs the ‘Worship Central Academy’ in the north, an opportunity for people to spend a year learning about leading worship and serving the church) was one of the last venues to host this event.
It was a time of offering our songs and prayers to God, prayer for our local churches and leaders, and waiting on God. Tim Hughes (who heads the Worship Central team) reminded us through a video of the consecration of Solomon’s temple and how the tangible presence of God made all the difference to the Israelites. Jesus is our ‘magnificent obsession’ and must be at the centre of all we do; as we make our ‘one thing’ the worship and adoration of Jesus, then our world is changed by His presence and power.
The ‘official’ group photo, taken by Nick Law (Worship Leader at St Thomas Crookes), can be seen here. I’m sure you can spot some of us on that one!
For those of you who enjoy online worship and teaching, the final 2 sessions from Passion 2015 at Houston are still available (today only) to watch here.
