1. Designing a
Bilingual Service
August 11, 20015

2. So why did you come to this workshop and what are you hoping to take with you?

3. Why do bilingual worship? What is the objective?
What are you striving for?

4. When do you do bilingual worship? How often?

5. What are the pitfalls of bilingual worship? What are your pet peeves?

6. Let’s look at some essentials:

7. Audience
What are the feelings and attitudes of the congregation towards bilingual worship? How committed are they to inclusion? At what cost?

8. What does the occasion call for?

9. Preparation
Cannot stress enough the importance of lots of advance preparation. And not just in the preparing of the service booklet/bulletin.

11. Frequency
How often should you hold a bilingual service? Should it be done every week? And if so what are the parameters for that?
