WORSHIP & LITURGY

WORSHIP & LITURGY

Liturgy is the church’s public worship of God. The term is derived from Greek words for “people” and “work.” The life of Christ active in the church by the Spirit is expressed through liturgy. In this context we use liturgy to describe litanies, public prayers, and other elements of worship.
