worship experiences many members renew their faith and make commitments to live their lives according to what God and the church require of them. Worship plays a powerful role to mobilize the people to meet the challenges that come from personal life, work, family sphere, and the church\u2019s mission.\u000AAt the same time, some excesses or the reduction of the experience to the private sphere, have been criticised by pastors and members of other churches. The non- integration of worship into all spheres of human life reduces the nature of worship and the so-called anointing of the Spirit to consumer goods that do not get out into day-to-day living in the world: worshipers on Sunday, but business persons throughout the week.

They need to stimulate the creation of structured social development programmes to favour the poorest of the poor, from a holistic understanding of their mission. It has to be a holistic worship which must develop a spirituality of work, business, politics, social responsibility, family, social relationships, among others. Otherwise, worship remains a liturgy that separates theology and ethics from Christian being and doing.\u000Ac.
