Intergenerational Worship
Sunday, April 4, 2010 by Jay T.
The meeting room for Corvallis Friends looked a bit different this morning. Big sheets of newsprint were spread around the floor. All who came were invited to lie down and be traced around, yielding a body outline.
A special invitation had been issued to children, letting them know that worship would be designed to include them. A few adults, seeking a quieter space on this Easter Sunday, chose to absent themselves. Some probably chose to join the early walk and outdoor worship, which gathered at 6:20 am in a local park.
After many body outlines had been traced and some posted on the walls, I explained that the markers, yarn, ribbon, flowers and glue could be used at any point during worship to add to the image of one’s body. I asked Friends to notice how the feelings within and recognize them. I explained that George Fox had written about this process many years ago and that contemporary Friends, some of them in our meeting, were rediscovering the ways our Teacher is present in our hearts and bodies.
