Pastoral Invitation to the Celebration
One pastor began this way:
In the Name of God the Holy One and Loving One, welcome to worship. Worship is a celebration, and therefore, not something, basically, which is heard or seen, but what is done. Worship is something we do. Thus, we, worshipers, celebrate - not so much by absorbing what's going on, but by contributing to what's going on. I invite us to celebrate the presence and power of the living Christ.
