Proyek ibadah intergenerasi dalam rangka bulan keluarga di GKI Jember

Abstract

The intergenerational worship project for Family Month at GKI Jember was designed as a means of spiritual formation, faith transmission, and intergenerational relationships. This study aimed to design and implement a worship service involving various age groups within a single liturgical unit, using literature studies, a survey of the congregation's context, and an analysis of the church's music repertoire. The service included creative elements such as drama, an intergenerational choir, and songs relevant to the theme "Family Restored by God." Evaluation showed that this service successfully raised the congregation's awareness of the importance of family relationships restored by God, while creating an inclusive atmosphere that supported the active involvement of all generations. The strength of this project lies in the liturgical design, which is based on biblical values ​​and the local context of the GKI Jember congregation. While challenges included limited preparation time and intergenerational coordination. Recommendations for GKI Jember include the formation of a permanent intergenerational team, the development of family spirituality through post-service guidance, and long-term evaluation to monitor the impact of the service on the congregation's lives. This research makes a significant contribution to supporting the church's vision and mission to be a community rooted in God's Word and bearing fruit in concrete works. Through intergenerational worship, the congregation is invited to not only be hearers of the word, but also doers of the word in their daily lives as witnesses of Christ in the world.
