I'm on several discussion boards, a couple of them for the worship arts. A couple of other folks on this forum regularly take part in the other one, so this will be a repeat for them. The question ...

Good post. Yes, fear of silence. Silence is a place where the worship leader is not in control, another big fear. The big cheer of the 80's charismatics was "Let go and let God!" It's still the sam...

For me, singing in the spirit did indeed come pretty easily. Actually, that's how I received my prayer language. Thought I was kind of "scat singing". You know, "nonsense syllables"? NOT!! Had never b...

You've got questions, we've got opinions!!! Most places we've been have had overheads. If you have a good flipper and a good system, you're good to go. If you're using an 8-year-old who cares enoug...

Also, FWIW, I really do like projection instead of hymnals. It gets the eyes of the folks up out of the pew and give them a chance to observe what's going on in the room, maybe to see what God's doing...

Glad to meet you!! We do hope that you'll check in and be part of the conversations at whatever level you're comfortable with. I do understand not wanting to do more computer after computing all da...

No apology needed. We're glad you're here and that you perceive the site and the folks to be genuine. High compliment. We hope you come back often and that you are able to share.

Yes, that's one name. When I was a kid, some of the gals called them "skorts", but I think those were shorter. I think that another name is something like palazzo pants. Not sure of name or spel...

Great indeed when they come far enough out of their shells to recognize God's calling or God's gift in their lives. I often pause to think that it's rather sad that the 80/20 rule applies to the ch...

You're right. It varies widely. Those who plan 2 or 3 songs have a much different curve than those whose worship song services are 45-60 minutes. Or if you're doing a 3 hour time of soaking worship. ...

And not only that, some people would tell you that it often takes MORE time to prepare for a shorter worship set! Finding music where the keys are compatible or where changes between can be smoothly a...

Skippy CDs are often either dirty or scratched. Occasionally, they are poorly burned. If they skip on EVERY machine and if you've cleaned them, you have a flawed CD. If it used to work, you may nee...

Mine, too. It was one that deeply affected me prior to my conversion to Christianity. The music was powerful and interesting, but the words impacted me greatly.

I was asked to begin our congregation’s services with a shofar blast. I asked if I could start with a quick little “nugget” before actually blowing, so that our people could begin to develop an unders...

Why blow the shofar? Well, mostly because God said so! What were the trumpet blasts used for? They were used to signal the children of Israel--signals for time to worship, time to move out, time t...

...God...Who has commanded us to hear (and understand) the shofar’s blast We talked a little about the masses of Israel in the wilderness hearing and obeying the shofar’s call. I want to bring you ...

Recognizing, so we can respond Last week, we talked about making or hearing unsure sounds on the trumpet. Remember the TV show, M.A.S.H.? Remember Corporal Radar O’Reilly and his bugle blowing? [Lo...

Sound the alarm on my holy mountain… In the middle of the shofar call that I usually use, there is a series of at least 9 short, fast notes all strung together. In Hebrew, this is called the teruah...

When it comes to issues of purity and righteousness and other absolutes, God does not provide gray areas. Especially in the "thou shalt NOT" areas. :) You're right, Moe, in a lot of areas it is per...
