Share your worship confessionals, recaps, and setlists for the week of: Sunday, October 30, 2011
Welcome to the 171st consecutive week of “Sunday Setlists”. The purpose of “Sunday Setlists” is to share a recap of your worship services. What songs did you use, what arrangements? What worked really well and what didn’t work as well as you’d like? What issues did you have preparing? What is the sermon series? How about creative elements used in the service? You don’t have to be the pastor or worship leader to participate. We would really love to get reviews from the perspective of those in our congregations each week.

Leading Worship: What’s Your Preference?
October 18, 2011 by 45 Comments
As a worship leader one of the tensions that we will consistently manage is the notion of preference.
I’ve noticed over the years that even my own preferences are shaped and changed by circumstances. I’ve never, ever been in a church where preference wasn’t present. Whether it’s talked about, or not, preference is something that is a part of every individual’s experience, and every community’s make-up.
People have certain individual preferences when it comes to the music that we use offer as worship. [Read more...]

Holy Days: The Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkot)
October 12, 2011 by 11 Comments
Thanks to Mat Reames for sharing this insight on Sukkot for our Holy Days Series - a series of articles dedicated to our Christian/Hebraic holidays, feasts, and observances.
This Wednesday (tonight) begins the Festival of Tabernacles. This is an 8 day time of hiding away. It is a festival wherein you draw away from the world and you draw into the Lord. Many Christians feel they do not need to celebrate the Jewish holidays because they are no longer under the Law. However, this is not about salvation, grace, or anything of that nature; it is about doing the things that please the Lord, and getting closer and more intimate with him.

It’s not a complicated resource or an exhaustive collection of how-tos or top-ten lists, but it IS a goldmine of valuable insight into EXPERIENCES! [Read more...]

I’ve been having numerous conversations surrounding the future of worship music.
What will Sunday morning look like in 20-30 years?
Will it be completely electronic?
Will the electric guitar be obsolete?
Will it resemble a late night rave?
Will the current Sufjan Stevens obsession sweep across all the earth? [Read more...]
