There is no personal call to Christian faith that isn’t a call to the community of believers. Catechesis is a community project. That is the purpose and work of worship. We gather to be shaped together by Christ for life like Christ. This stands in opposition to how we generally talk about worship, evaluating through a consumerist lens, which says church is ultimately a product to be consumed. But the Church aims its work not at our personal desires, but the cross of Christ. So we ask not what “works for us” but what “works on us."
