God is always present in our worship - just try and keep Him away! But often we don't perceive his presence. If worship has become routine or we are distracted by something - be it a fellow worshipper, the music, or lunch, then we can miss what God is doing. God moves powerfully and visibly when His people are expectant and patient.
It's not about the style of the service or even the quality. God doesn't move because we somehow get it right or make the grade. Theology 101 tells us that we can't ever do that.
However, we worship in faith that in Christ our worship is acceptable; and when we are hungry for the presence of God, and gather with the intention of having inspiring worship, when we expect the Holy Spirit to be active, when we recognise that we encounter God in worship, then we will be changed.
