Abstract
Change affects people, which is also evident in worship. Helping them to assimilate change in worship is this project’s purpose.
Two examples of change were considered. The first was quality improvement. This addressed those responsible for the conduct of worship. While significant changes did not result, it did prove that people are more responsive when interest is shown in them.
The second was introducing a new setting of the Divine Service. The results indicated that, with proper planning, change can be introduced positively.
Change does not have to be disruptive. It can be spiritually beneficial if handled sensitively.
