Lesson Plan for Conducting the Class

Introduction:

  1. Welcome visitors, check roll, and make announcements.
  2. Ask the class for their observations on Psalm 121 and “Unto the Hills.” Q: What is the primary message of the psalm and the song? Q: On what situation is it based? Q: With what mood should we sing it?
  3. Remind the class that this is the final session in this series and that today’s lesson will be primarily review and commitment.

Learning Experiences:

  1. Q: What are the four purposes of worship which we have studied? Q: What is a scripture we have associated with each?
  2. Q: What have you learned in our study that will help you participate better in the singing?
  3. Q: What have you learned in our study that will help you participate better in the Lord’s supper?
  4. Q: What have you learned in our study that will help you participate better in the offering as a time of worship?
  5. Q: What have you learned in our study that will make the time of preaching and reading of the Bible a better worship experience?
  6. Q: What have you learned in our study that will make the time of giving a better time of worship?
  7. Let’s sing a song of proclamation: “One Day!” (Sing two or more verses as time allows.)
  8. Look at “Worthy Art Thou,” by Tillit S. Teddlie, a now-departed song writer from the churches of Christ. Before singing this song, note expressions that are proclamation, adoration, communication, and edification.
  9. Look at “Blest Be The Tie That Binds.” Q: What connections with worship do you see in this song? (Proclamation, exhortation, edification by fellowship in worship.)
