Elliott Smith: Cultivating a Fear-Free Worship Experience All In

    • Christianity

Attending church for the first time. Coming back to church after a period of inactivity. Going through the temple for the first time. Seeking to develop a love for the temple. These are all experiences that can feel daunting or overwhelming. But years ago, a bishop who had been through a period of inactivity himself sought to create what he called “a fear-free worship experience” for everyone in his congregation—and Elliott Smith says it made all the difference in their ward. So wherever you are on your journey along the covenant path, we invite you to consider how we can best help one another along by also seeking to eliminate fear in our own congregations.

6:08- Fear Free Worship

12:17- Preparing For Baptism

17:10- First Impression of the Temple and Appropriate Expectations

33:58- 4 Ps

41:48- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? 

 

“We won’t ever be perfected in HIm until we are perfected through Him.”
