The Chuppah
The Chuppah, traditionally, is an
object under which covenants are
made. Our Chuppah display is an
area that allows you to seclude
yourself and commune with GOD.
Whether you need to quite yourself
before service or ponder and reflect
after service. You are welcome to
enter the Chuppah and be one on
one with the LORD.
Billowing
During praise & worship, billowing is
done by using long cloths to create
movement (a natural representation
of a spiritual reaction) to change /
shift the atmosphere in response to
what the Spirit indicates needs to be
done. It is seeking to align with what
is happening in HIS realm and to
connect heaven and earth, to
activate HIS will and purposes in the
moment.
Anointing Oils
Anointing oils and fragrances were
used in the scriptures for
consecration and dedication. They
were used to anoint Kings and
Priests and to accompany sacrifices
and worship in the temple. There are
times during the service whether it’s
prayer or worship, that we may want
to set ourselves apart. Even though
we understand there is nothing
special about the oil itself, it is used
as a natural representation of a
spiritual connection. They may be
used to represent healing, breaking
bondage, new beginnings, revelation
or other situations as the Spirit
leads. This is something you will
often see the leadership team use,
but it can be used during your
personal time of worship as well.
Worship Flags & Streamers
A time of worship with music and
singing is probably not unfamiliar to
you; but another dimension is added
as we praise and worship with
dance, praise flags/streamers and
billowing. “David danced before the
LORD with all his might” (2 Samuel
6:14) and so do we! There are times
where we will have choreographed
congregational dances, but there will
also be times of free dance where
everyone is welcome to grab a
streamer or flag and dance before
the LORD of their own accord. Dance
is a very important element to
worship because we use our whole
being to worship GOD and we make
it all about HIM, not about those
around us.
Covenant Meal
We take the “Covenant Meal” in
remembrance of the covenant that
YESHUA (JESUS) made with HIS
disciples and all of us on the night
before HE gave HIMSELF as our
sacrifice (Luke 22:20). As we eat the
bread and drink the juice, we are
setting aside our cares and focusing
our hearts and our minds on the
heart and mind of GOD.
Offering Vase
You will not see a formal offering
being collected during our services.
The tall vase on the right side of the
Chuppah is where you can place
your monetary gifts. Just like all of
the other elements in the Chuppah,
giving is a form of worship and it is
left up to you when you give. You
may give before or after service or
even during the message. There may
be times during the service where a
word speaks to you and you want to
“seed” (or tangibly plant something)
into (the ministry because of) that
word. We want to give you the
opportunity to do that as the LORD
leads you.
