Observation/Analysis/Reflection:

2.  Was the content/emphasis of the worship service readily discernible (i.e., gospel/evangelism; sacramental/liturgical; charismatic/celebration; therapeutic/”self-esteem;” doctrinal/biblical exposition; relational/community; justice/social action; postmodern/mosaic; etc.)?

3.  Identify the elements of the structure or pattern of the worship service.

4.  Identify the style of the worship service (i.e., casual vs. formal, traditional vs. contemporary, musical style, worship leadership, etc.).

5.  Identify the theology of worship of the service (e.g. expressed view of God, Christ, humanity, salvation, sanctification, eschatology, etc.).  What was theologically emphasized?  Was the worship theologically cohesive (did it all ‘fit together’)?
