Justice in worship can be a celebration of God's character of justice, a cry to God for justice in the midst of injustice, a call to God's people to practice justice, and a proclamation of God's kingdom vision.

As we plan for these aspects of justice in the individual components of worship, we need to ask whether our worship practices themselves are just.

Do we welcome and include all members of Christ's body?

How will this service sound or seem to the elderly? To children? To people with disabilities? To different races or cultures?

Who are the poor and excluded, the "least" within our church, our community, our nation, our world? How are we remembering them and making room for them in our worship?
