Simply put, liturgy consists of the shared public practices of the church. The Greek origin of the word is intended to detail the public acts of worship seen in the temple in Old Testament times. Historically, the liturgy of the church has included prescriptions for worship services including prayers, responsive readings, ceremonies, and more.

For Ecclesia, liturgy encompasses what we do as we gather in community to celebrate and worship on the weekends as well as on other special days. It is a means of reflection and contemplation as we observe seasons of the church calendar, including Advent and Lent and the Lectionary; as we participate in corporate prayers of invocation and benediction; and as we integrate other acts of meaningful worship.
