A Rock And Roll Revival

Filed under: Church — DrTony @ 8:23 pm

As a follow-up to what I wrote for Sunday, I have been thinking about the order of worship if I were to do a revival and utilize modern music.

How does this sound?

Opening song – “Jesus is Just Alright” by the Doobie Brothers

Old Testament Reading – “Turn, Turn, Turn” by The Byrds

New Testament Reading – “Good Shepherd” by Jefferson Airplane

Offertory – “Signs” by the Five Man Electric Band

Invitation – “Are You Ready?” by Pacific Gas & Electric

What do you think?
