Abstract

Many liturgical scholars believe that today’s teenagers do not want to attend a worship service where everything is done by the “professionals,” in which they simply observe and absorb the work of others. They don’t want to be entertained; they want to participate. They want to be involved in something larger than themselves. This longing for connection goes beyond forming relationships solely within a single peer group. This project focuses on creating a virtual contemporary intergenerational worship service in the midst of a pandemic that embraces both ancient and modern practices that are meaningful and responsive to today’s adolescents enabling them to connect and engage within the Universal Church of all believers.
