Building a Worship Team // David Willersdorf
I was recently asked by my friends at WorshipSessions to write a brief outline of how to grow your worship team. It got me thinking about how we often want to build something, and yet we don't know what we want to see reproduced. Growth = Reproduction. Growing a team is like cells forming a body... It's when we know what God wants to do that we can build a team with Him that will have the right expectation (and hopefully a huge expectation at that) of what God wants to do. Below is what I ended up with.
The Ultrasound of the Spirit // Roma Waterman
Recently I had to have an ultrasound done because of unexplained pain I was experiencing. The ultrasound showed a 3.5cm cyst on my right ovary which was a concern to the doctors. It was decided that we would wait three months, have a second ultrasound, and if the cyst had grown, we would decide from there what would be the next option to take.
The Bird // Geoff Bullock
"There was once a Little Bird that lived in a cage in a beautiful mansion. Everyday she would sing the most beautiful songs in the hope of attracting the attention and approval of the Master of the house. Every morning and every afternoon the Little Bird would clean out her cage, fluff up her tiny feathers and begin to sing." Read this fascinating modern parable from Geoff Bullock.
It's Not About Me // Jared Haschek
You know what? It's not about me. That thought alone is probably one of the single most important ideas in serving on a music team. That thought alone has the power to end the politics, end arguments about style and song selection, and put to one side any other divisions that form in a group of people volunteering to work together.
