As the recipient of a grant from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Science for the Church (scienceforthechurch.org) is helping five churches conduct experiments to integrate science into their worship practices in ways that benefit their congregations. The experiments are part of the natural flow of what each church does in their particular context rather than an addition or change. We invite you to learn from their experiments via this video series and perhaps even imagine what experiments would work in your own church context.
Astrophysicist Jennifer Wiseman engages the children at West Raleigh Presbyterian Church by answering questions about her own childhood experiences of wonder at the world and the affirmation that because we know God’s creation is good (Genesis 1), studying it means we’re studying something good. In a conversation that encompasses favorite planets and what God’s love means for our world (John 3:16), the kids learn to connect the good news of the gospel with the wonder of God revealed through both creation and Jesus.
