Hey Helena. . . I was just wondering (as I was reading about an upcoming worship conference) how to get kids into flags and banners. We have a small church. . .and one little girl who does ballet...

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. ...

It made me smile when I read the post about "dancers" having to lip sync the words or they weren't allowed to worship in dance! :D I was in a Pentecostal church during my later teen years and reme...

Back to the combat boots. . . .I use to wear dress armies when I dressed up, but last year I bought new summer combats--American Issue (not the same at all as our Canadian Grebs) and they look so nice...

Hey, My thoughts on the "why" or "for whom" of worship. . . .it's for us, in that we connect (as one of you put it) with G-d. It's our time to stand before Him and show Him how we feel about Him. ...

Yes Helena! That's it! There are times when I need to listen to heavier (yes I love all kinds of Christian music) heavier Christian music, just so I am not in worship mode--"oh, this song will work"...

Hey all, It's been a while. . . haven't even had the time to check the forum and catch up on my reading! How sad is that!? My point today is, I'm wondering how many people find that they cannot...

GREAT topic! :D At another church I was at, our worship team consisted of myself (leading and playing guitar), 2 girls (one alto, one higher harmony), my sound guy (my hubby), the overhead lady, ...

Hey guys! Ah the joy of soaking! I introduced my bestfriend to soaking last year, and we'd get together and spend time sitting or laying in the presence of God listening to some free soaking music...

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...

Words of wisdom and words of knowledge are much not as clear to me. As you also mentioned, Quote:Finding the subleties of discernment in our own "intuitions". That is an interesting area. And wher...

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...

Do any of y'all use instrumental prophetic worship cd's for your church's ministry time, or for your own personal "soaking" or worship time? If you do, who's stuff do you use? Do you have a favourit...

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...

Morning Helena! I was looking at your poll today. . . .for me, it almost needs another choice or two. For me, everything should be worship--done for God's glory. . . .Darlene Zschech wrote in he...

Hi, Just wondering, (as I always have) what y'all think of that verse. . .Worship in spirit and truth. Darlene Zschech wrote in her book "Extravagant Worship", "regardless of the method, the act...

I like the idea of a contract, although realistically, I don't know if that would fly around here. But I shall pray about it and then mention it to my pastor (and/or Council of Elders). There is a...

Hey all. Long time indeed! :) I'm trying to find "the perfect" study on Psalms, but more than that, a look at the Office of Psalmist in the Bible. Is there any such thing? If not that, then ...

No, not me. :) I'm good to go. I just heard from a woman I know, that some friends of mine are no longer going to church. . . "they need a rest". What does that mean? I knew by the tone of h...

It certainly seems like this forum is dormant these days! Not too much going on! It's pouring rain here in Quebec today--got really warm the past few days, it's weird to look out and see snow everyw...

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...

I've been thinking lately, about how from time to time, I get tired of music. Not because it's the same old / same old, but more because I'm just tired of the noise. I have never really gotten tired...

Wow. . .conflict management. . . What a concept! ;) I think, to me, it would depend on what exactly the conflict is. If it's a differing of opinion, even on Biblical issues, there can often be ro...

I've just done a new song at our church (last Sunday), by Hillsong, In Your Freedom. The chorus says: And I love You Lord, You rescued me, You are all I want, You're all I need. My question is, i...

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...
