Hmm, didn't we just discuss this on another list? ;) I don't tend to do the difficult songs you mentioned. . . Quote:Super syncopated, words that don't fit melodic lines, words that are really ...

I've been spending a lot more time here in the last few days, checking places out that I've never been too--different topics, etc. I'm liking it all. :) You do a great job Helena! (and you too De...

I've been using Worship Assistant for years now. I have been a beta tester in the past and thoroughly love this software. For me, it does everything that I need it to do--and more actually. Our chu...

I just finished putting the finishing touches on my worship (song) list for tomorrow. Caused me to wonder just how much time other worship leaders--or those who plan the "song" worship part of your c...

Ah okay! Makes perfect sense! :) I shall try harder for the next spot then!!! :) Moe.

Hi all, I just now saw "friend", "feeb", "fellow". . . and would like to know the "rating system" here. ;) What exactly do they mean if anything? I've been spending a lot of time looking aro...

I'm still a "jeans only" kind of woman. :) But it goes well with a church that meets in a bar. ;) Blessings! Moe. :crooner:

Good topic. Can you tell I'm enjoying being able to type on my notebook!? ;) I'm reminded of the concept that in small churches, there is only a small core of people that "do" everything. I've b...

Ah yes, the dreaded "dress code" topic! :) I remember a few years ago on the worship list I'm on, someone brought up the topic of drummers not wearing shorts on the platform. I still can't qui...

Hi! I hope you decide to stay! This is my favourite forum on the net! The people who oversee / run this forum rock and are a wealth of information. There is always someone with an opinion to s...

This is what I was asking about in one of my other posts! Never really heard it called "selah" though--although it's the perfect term to describe it. I don't feel awkward with silence--but have b...

Hi all, Just wondering how y'all project (overheads / projector) your lyrics on Sundays--that is, if you aren't using hymn books or songbooks. We have always used overheads (I've led worship i...

Hi all, Just wondering in what ways y'all ;) "flow" in the Spirit during worship. Meaning, do you have spontaneous worship--or spontaneous dance, not rehearsed, bursting out of worship? Singi...

Hi, I think of this often, let me explain my question. . . Do you worship leaders "have" to use a theme each week when you go to choose your songs, or do you know what your pastor will be preac...

Great question! Personally, I use a guitar when I lead. I'm not the best, better than some, but just fine for what I need. I've had friends who don't play any instrument but lead with a band, and t...

I totally agree that dancers are worship leaders! As are flag / banner worshipers. My all time most important one is the sound person. No one can do anything without them--if you use sound reinforc...

Ah yes. :hi: As I wrote before, I LOVE smilies. :yay: They make me laugh at the best of times! :up: And the ones you have here Helena, are second to none! :notworthy: I think ...

Morning! My question comes from the fact that I haven't been feeling well for the last few weeks--there's a nasty "cold" that's going around up here, and once you get it, it's extremely hard to get...

Hi all! I seem to be on a roll today! (this is what--my 3rd or 4th reply!) Regarding "Jesus is my superhero". . .I've never heard the song, but if it's come out of Hillside, I'm sure it's being...

Morning! I was just reading a thread at another list, having to do with Emergent Churches and such. . . .steming from Dan Kimball's book Emergent Worship. . . . I bought that book, but never rea...

Hi Helena, I've never been into flags or banners, etc, myself, although I love to watch them--especially if I'm leading worship! Somehow, seeing people worship through flags, makes my heart soar. ...

Yes! (that helps -- as always!) :wink: Could you elaborate on or explain the concept of "forth-telling" as opposed to "fore-telling"???? Moe. :crooner:

Hi Dean (I know you knew I'd bite on this topic!) :wink: Could you describe then, the difference between: 1. New song 2. Spontaneous worship 3. Prophetic worship 4. Free worship Are t...

Hi all, I've been thinking about this quite a bit over the last few years. It comes from the concept that my mentor in leading worship told me way back when I first began leading worship, to pay a...

Morning! For me personally, the song that I find "most anointed" is "How Great is Our God", by Chris Tomlin (don't gag Dean!) And our church finds it pretty much the same. "Take Me In" by Petra (...
