Worship is God’s invitation to transformation.
This Reader’s Theater script about worship can be utilized during a worship service for the purpose of sharing these truths about what worship is and is not with God’s people, helping them to more fully understand the depth of meaning, relationship, and surrender found in true worship. The Readers can be students or adults. They need to be well-prepared through rehearsal so that the sharing of these truths can be meaningful and thought-provoking.

What is Worship?
A Reader’s Theater Script
designed for 3 readers
written by
Travis L. Boyd
Worship Pastor–We hear a lot about worship these days, but what is worship?
Speaker #1 – Worship is believing that God is.
Speaker #2—Worship is recognizing God’s greatness.
Speaker #3—Worship is seeking to know God on a deeper level.
Speaker #1 – Worship is surrendering to the will of God completely.
Speaker #2—Worship is living for God’s glory, not my own.
Speaker #3—Worship is experiencing God’s presence personally.
Speaker #1—Worship is not a great old hymn.
Speaker #2—Worship is not a wonderful new song.
Speaker #3—Worship is not a sermon.
Speaker #1—Worship is our response to God.
Speaker #2—We may worship with a great old hymn.
Speaker #3—We may worship with a wonderful new song.
Speaker #1—We may worship as God’s word is preached.
Speaker #2—The important thing is that we do worship.
Speaker #3—We must focus this hour on God and not ourselves.
Speaker #1—Not on what we want to sing.
Speaker #2—Not on what we want to hear.
Speaker #3—Not on what we want to feel.
All Speakers— Worship is our response to God.

I know that is totally “out of scope” but i need your help: i’m searching desperately for the accompaniment trax of “Children of light” i know that it’s included for the “Lite Trax Cd Volume 61 n.1” of Shawnee Press but it’s discontinued it and i cannot find it anywhere (i already contacted 10 suppliers including jwpeppers and Halleonards!).
Do you know in which way can i have it? Obviously paying… also an mp3 will be ok…
Please help me if you can! 🙂
Regards

Thank you for your request, Rino. Your wonderful choir is a testament to the efforts that you put into every facet of directing, including music selection. We did reply to your request personally via a different messaging service, but we will repeat the information here for anyone else who may be interested in “Children of Light”. As we shared with our friend Rino, the Lite Trax and the Bass / drums instrumental score for “Children of Light” are both apparently unavailable at this time. (“Children of Light” is an upbeat Choral Anthem written by Travis Boyd of Worship Sounds Music and published by Shawnee Press / Hal Leonard.) Travis did do a full orchestration for the anthem, commissioned by a choir for a recording project and mission trip. That recording was amazing, but the orchestration was never published. However, with continued interest in “Children of Light”, we may at some point contact the publisher once again to request publication of the orchestration. If the orchestration is ever published or an accompaniment track is once more made available, we will contact those who have asked about it and also put a post on our blog about the availability. Thank you again for your interest in our music, Rino.
Blessings,
Travis L. and Cynthia Boyd
