The Worship Workshop: Creative Ways to Design Worship Together: Creative Ways to Design Worship Together / Marcia Mcfee.

Product Information

Psalm 149:3 – “Let them praise His name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp.” If you’re a solo worship designer—that is, you do all the service and set planning/design, break free from that leadership and ministry barrier this summer. These two resources will help your team understand how to plan an engaging worship service from a biblical model. It will also help them avoid the rookie mistakes of poorly planned transitions and over-stuffed services. Pray: Father God, thank you for the hope you offer us. We remember….who is having a hard time at the moment and we ask that they would know your peace and hope. Amen I got saved in a Presbyterian church, went on the mission field through Calvary Chapel, was a youth pastor at a Baptist Church, Graduated from Moody Bible Institute with my bachelor’s in Biblical Studies, served at two non-denominational churches, and am currently at a Calvary Chapel. I was ordained as a pastor during my time at the Baptist church.

And as you give your potential leaders extra time on the platform, you might be surprised. It might be just what they need to lead by themselves before the summer is over. The writer of this Psalm was commentating on how following God’s laws in the Bible would affect the way a person lived. Their life would bear ‘fruit’, good work that could be seen by others.Children and students are already thinking about presents so you could build on this with the ‘presents’ of grace, peace, knowledge, fellowship and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as mentioned in the passage from 1 Corinthians. Jesus’ parable gives insight into the values of the Kingdom. Everyone is welcome no matter how young, old, or close to death. It’s not to do with how long you’ve been in service.

Most people are already used to being out of a routine in the summer, so capitalize on this. And if people hear “trial” or “pilot,” they’ll be more willing to go along with changes. Example of Sister Helen Prejean, whose faith inspired her to bring hope to prisoners on death row and families bereaved through murder. It will help you qualify new team members. If they understand the policies and expectations BEFORE they join, they will either self-select out or come onboard with a clear understanding of their role. When is our time to pray & encourage each other as a worship team? How do we grow together spiritually?Before anything else, worship is about playing and singing to the Lord to exalt and praise His name. Also, if there are parts of the bike that are not working properly or cohesively, that bike journey is going to be tough, and you may not get far. Likewise, for our worship teams, if everyone on the team is an expert at their instrument and has amazing skill, but they don’t have purity of heart, humility, or integrity, that team won't be able to take the church anywhere. The best thing you can do as a worship leader is lead by example. Dedicate yourself to spending time with God and His Word daily. Your worship ministry will be inspired by your faith and joy, and you can begin mentoring them in this area. What is our regularly scheduled practice time? Are there any times that are more convenient, since we’ll all be here prior to or after a service time? Your church might be a “butt-in-seat” culture. That is, they equate “time in the office” with productivity and pay.
