Passionate Worship

   When I was in college I spent a semester studying abroad in Australia. While there I was blessed to be able to worship in all sorts of place - a small traditional church that took me in as their unofficial  intern. A Hillsong concert. Anglican Evening Song. A non-denominational church plant held in a theater. As different as many of those experiences where from one another, what mattered most was that the worship was about passionately seeking God.
     People assume that since I am in the age group described as "Millenials" that I only like praise bands with guitars. That is not true. I was brought up in a traditional congregation with an organ and choirs. Handbells and no screens. For me I can be comfortable anywhere where the people are gathered to praise God.
   What I struggle with more than style of worship is when there seems to be a lack of passion. When worship is described as "the way we do things" instead of the way we connect with God and one another. What do you love about worship and how does it help you deeply connect to God and other people?
