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:
“It is the weak and confused who worship the pseudosimplicities of brutal directness.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“With respect to a true culture and manhood, we are essentially provincial still, not metropolitan,—mere Jonathans. We are provincial, because we do not find at home our standards; because we do not worship truth, but the reflection of truth; because we are warped and narrowed by an exclusive devotion to trade and commerce and manufacturers and agriculture and the like, which are but means, and not the end.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)
