Good luck finding a church these days that calls its Sunday morning service, a Sunday morning service. I think people feel that’s old fashioned or boring or vanilla or something else meaning, “not cool.” So instead of service they invite you to a “worship experience.” Which is fine in some situations but sometimes maybe you want to hear a sermon instead of a “message.” Maybe you want to shop in the bookstore instead of the “resource center.” Some churches actually balance the old and the new pretty well, like mine, but some force you to use their words all the time. I recently saw a message online from a church that was in a snowstorm. It said, “All worship experiences will be held at their regular times.” That’s just so awkward, but they refused to simply say, “Church will be held at regular times in the morning.”
Why create “Stuff Christians Like?”
