Three Ways to Shake up Your Band
August 26, 2008 by 7 Comments
Is your church’s worship band becoming passe? Have you and your team reached a plateau? Have you all reached a point of comfort? Are you satisfied with it, or are you convinced that you could do something more? The Apostle once wrote that he “press(es) toward the mark of the high calling…” utilizing language that makes me think that the Christian journey is supposed to be anything but comfortable. We must constantly strive to move our band in fresh directions, as an act of worship.
When Vessels Break (Mike Guglielmucci and Healer)
August 21, 2008 by 51 Comments
Dear Worship Community,
I write this article today from my home office and studio. Looking outside my windows I can see the rain and wind increasing from Tropical Storm Fay. Although she is located several hours south of our home I can see and feel her presence. As the sky grows darker and more ominous I can’t help but think of the storm we’ve encountered over the last twenty four hours in the world’s worshiping communities. [Read more...]
What Difference Does Worship Make
August 20, 2008 by 5 Comments
Soon after encountering Christ for the first time as a young teenager, I eagerly began telling everyone who would listen about my newfound faith. In one conversation as I tried to convince a friend of my brother that Jesus would make a huge positive difference in his life, he gently expressed his doubt about my words. As far as he was concerned, Jesus made no difference at all.
Worship Leaders of The Bible, Part 2: King David
August 20, 2008 by 6 Comments
I’ve decided David wouldn’t have made it as a worship leader in today’s church. Not that his songs wouldn’t hold up. Oh, they’d hold up, alright! But there’s just not enough grace. King David was one messed up dude, y’all. Lies, murder, adultery, and that’s just the beginning of it. With all of the systems of accountability we have in place these days, I can say with a good deal of confidence that David would be banished from most churches’ stage for life- and rightfully so, maybe. After all, serving in a position like lead worshipper means you are now called to a higher standard. But, somehow, David persevered. He messed up; there’s no questioning that, but he also rose from it. The question, then, is how is that even possible and can a resurrection like that happen in my life and my career as well?

Percussion [You Say Tomatos, I Say Tomatoes]
August 13, 2008 by 4 Comments
One of the things about being a percussionist and multifaceted flautist, is that you need to realize that what you do is not an essential part of the modern day “worship band” instrumentation, it’s good to have but is not essential. With that in mind, there are some things that you need to know and also need to be in you as a worshiper specially playing instruments that people don’t quite understand where they belong in the modern day worship band instrumentation. Let’s face it, you are not going to play flute or whistles on every song played [not unless you happen to be in Ireland playing in a pub…..] or tambourine on every song or even congas or djembe.
Orchestrating an Effective Rehearsal
August 13, 2008 by 9 Comments
Rehearsals are one thing that every single worship leader in any capacity cannot get out of. If you are on staff, you lead rehearsals. If you are a volunteer, you need rehearsals. If you are a tech guy (or gal), you attend rehearsals. And since we all can’t get away from them, we should take a look at how to make rehearsals effective. Effective rehearsals lead to encouraged and motivated teams.
Planning Ahead
August 11, 2008 by 7 Comments
I heard a great quote the other day that was aimed at pastors who plan sermons last minute week to week. It went something like, “When pastors wait until the last minute to plan a message, is it them or the Holy Spirit who does the procrastinating?”
