into Worship
Christians worship God in many ways –in dance, drama and ritual, in liturgy,
song and prayer, through poetry, story, art and architecture – all these
can be worship. Most importantly, life should be worship – worship is
an all-encompassing relationship between God and the believer. These RE
schemes below try to capture that belief. All documents are pdf
files. The first title in each block is the worked scheme, the
others are support materials.
