Uncommon Worship Experiences

Worship is so much more than singing in church—it’s an opportunity to draw close to God, which is a necessity for anyone who seeks true intimacy with Him. Yet many teens struggle with surrendering themselves to God in worship. Some fear drawing attention to themselves, while others are distracted and unfocused. With some creative and sensitive planning, however, students can experience the sweet surrender of worshiping God in spirit and in truth.
Uncommon Worship Experiences, part of a series of resources and group studies developed by youth ministry veteran Jim Burns, will help youth leaders foster an atmosphere of freedom and lead worship by example. This comprehensive resource explores what worship is and what it is not and offers suggestions for creating a worshipful environment. It includes reproducible planning and evaluation sheets, creative group prayers, biblical meditations and activities, a sample camp worship booklet and much more. When it’s done right, worship can meet teens’ needs for connection with God and each other. Now leaders can show them how!
