Something We’re Trying: Interactive Worship

“We’ve never done it that way before …” That’s a phrase you won’t hear at Forefront very often. In fact, pretty much everything we’ve ever done can fit into the “We’ve Never Done That Before” category … because we haven’t!

And the Pack Your Bags series will be no exception. Starting November 8, we’re going to try yet another new thing. With the advent of technology, everything seems to be right at your fingertips.

If we were to ask the Sunday morning crowd to hold up their Bibles in the air, a good portion of them would hold up their mobile phone. Not that their friends on the other end are the Word of God, but most web-enabled phones can now download an application or load a website with the Bible on it. Our good friends over at LifeChurch have developed just such a system of getting the Word of God into the hands of His people.

With YouVersion Live, you simply load up YouVersion, create a FREE account, join the Forefront group and away we go! During Pack Your Bags, you’ll be able to interact with sermon notes, the scripture the sermon is based on, vote on polls, ask questions anonymously, give financially, request prayer and even take all home with you! How cool is that!

So, make sure you prepare:

1. Download the app if you’re on an iPhone, Blackberry, or Google Android phone (if not, just load up www.youversion.com/forefront in your browser … laptops work, too!)
2. Create an account at www.youversion.com.
3. Join the Forefront group at www.youversion.com/forefront.
4. Bring your phone, iPod touch or laptop and prepare to engage at a whole ‘notha level during the sermon on Sundays during Pack Your Bags.

Get Excited!
