How we can use this blog



Damascus Road is about journeying together to figure out what it means to follow Jesus in today's world. Our main worship gathering on Sunday nights shouldn't be limited to a few people sharing through teaching or music, while the majority sit motionless and passively take it all in.

Instead, worship should be about everyone bringing what they have to worship God. For some reason, we tend to emphasize teaching and music as more "useful" gifts to share, but to focus on these is to exclude other gifts and viewpoints.

We don't want to reduce our worship gathering to a sterile event planned by an elite group. We hope it can be a fluid interaction between unique people of God.

So, we can use this space to brainstorm upcoming gatherings, discuss what we need to address as a community, critique past events and express creative ideas regarding worship.
