The results of the worship surveys are in and from my review of the comments/input from 94 folks were most informative!
The results from the follow-up survey, sent out to the initial worship survey respondents, yielded interesting results from 31 responders. The follow-up survey had two questions and opportunity for feedback and comments. (Follow-Up Survey) The survey respondents offered valuable feedback and information that has helped to shape and inform the decisions about worship experiences in 2017.
First Light Worship will now be called "Early 30" and be held at 8:30 am. The service will feature some of the familiar liturgy of the Service of Word and Table and Holy Communion each week. The music will be a mixture of hymns and songs from the Faith We Sing.
The Contemporary Worship Experience – “Worship on the Wilder Side” will be held in the Wilder Center at 9:00 AM. The order of worship will reflect a contemplative, modern worship opportunity with the sermon/spoken word and response to the word being placed near the close of the worship experience.
The 11:00 AM Traditional Worship will remain unchanged. However, the order of worship utilized during the advent preview will remain in place. The Sermon and Response to the Word near the close of the worship Order.
Looking forward to seeing you all in worship at Rome First! Whether it is at, Early 30, Worship on the Wilder Side or Traditional Worship - Whether it is in the Historic Sanctuary or the Wilder Center –there is a place for ALL at Rome First.
I pray as this New Year begins you will make worship a priority. There are three options for you to attend each week and the same opportunities for you to invite your friends, neighbors, associates and acquaintances to attend as well!
