Our worship team has recently been through some changes. A few months ago, I felt the need to step it up a few notches. So I fired everybody. Everybody. I even fired my wife. No matter how long everyone had played or sang, everyone lost their job. I told them I would be willing to rehire them, but the commitment …
Last night, we had the members of the North Side Worship band over to the house. We canceled normal practice to eat, hang, sing, dream, and pray. We have been planning to record again this summer, and this was the official meeting to kick things off. Sitting around a circle in the floor last night, I laid out the plan …
My buddy at the South Carolina Baptist Convention office, Mark Powers, called about a month ago to ask a favor. He is the director or worship and music for the state. Each year, he puts on an event called the Worship Summit (click the link to sign up for the conference) which equips worship teams to go further in their ministry …

But that doesn’t mean you can’t get started. Don’t pray: “God bless all the church members.” That’s good, but it’s hard to
Continuing in this month’s focus for our worship teams to pray fervently and specifically, I have another prayer point this week: pray for the members of your worship team.
