Gear is packed, presentations ready, and our team is rowdy as we leave for the Worship Summit this afternoon. I was honored and humbled when our group was asked to lead worship and I was asked to do the training at a worship training event for the South Carolina Baptist Convention. Today and tomorrow, our North Side Worship group will …
Worship is all about God. Whenever we serve in a manner to get attention for ourselves, we are attempting to rob God of his glory.

This month’s core worship value: Humility – leading with perspective This week’s worship training one-liner: The cure for lethargic worship is a good memory.
