Worship
Every day of the festival, Ichthus held a worship service at the main stage amphitheater. These services consisted of a worship session with music and then a keynote provided by a speaker. Near the back of the crowd was a tent that had many alter ministers to pray with people after the services.
Every year at Ichthus, all stages, merchandise tents, and food vendors closed on order for everyone to participate in the Saturday afternoon communion. On the last day of the festival (Saturday) around 20,000 people gathered at the main stage amphitheater for the massive communion service. This service consisted of praise and worship music, then a keynote speaker. During this service, tens of thousands of people received communion together.

Famous quotes containing the word worship:
“Almost like a god looking at her terribly out of the everlasting dark, she had felt the eyes of that horse; great glowing, fearsome eyes, arched with a question, and containing a white blade of light like a threat. What was his non-human question, and his uncanny threat? She didn’t know. He was some splendid demon, and she must worship him.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,
Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Could it not be that just at the moment masculinity has brought us to the brink of nuclear destruction or ecological suicide, women are beginning to rise in response to the Mother’s call to save her planet and create instead the next stage of evolution? Can our revolution mean anything else than the reversion of social and economic control to Her representatives among Womankind, and the resumption of Her worship on the face of the Earth? Do we dare demand less?”
—Jane Alpert (b. 1947)
