Hi all, I've been checking this forum out this weekend--saw the link on one of Dean's emails to the worship list I'm on and decided to see what you're all about. I've known Dean, through email (wo...

Hello Helena, :D I've been looking around and checked out this post of yours. . . .I have to admit, to begin with my reaction was "what are you talking about--that's a great worship song!" The...

I'm thinking I may enjoy this forum much more than I thought I would! :o Originally, I was going to chime in and say that at our church I'm called the "worship leader". . . .as is another couple...

Hi again. . . Regarding this topic, I've been thinking much on this all week. . . I've heard some people say that some "worship" songs are just "fluff"--I can't remember if I saw it on this forum o...

Hi all, Our church is very new, out of all denominational backgrounds. . . we (especially me) are getting more into prophetic song and such. What do y'all believe as far as that goes, what have ...

Hey Helena! I've often considered myself a teacher as a worship leader / lead worshiper, although not for the reasons you mentioned above. Your post gave me much food for thought. . . and I have t...

Yes, Dean, thank you. :-) I'm just now starting out in more spontaneous worship. . . .I've taken part in it before, but never been the leader of it. . . so it's quite new territory for me. I want ...

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 Dean, Tell me about your shofars, how'd you get into playing them? How many do you have? (and why?) What got you into shofars? and. . .lower brass eh? Tuba's?? Fill me in! ;-) B...

Dean! That's so funny! We played mostly the same brass--although I more the euphonium and trombone. . .. I had thought about joining the military as well, just so I could play! :-) Never learned...

Morning! Is the song you mean by Mark Altrogge? Cuz if it is--that's not the chorus. So then, can spontaneous or prophetic song be a chorus from an already known song? Also--what exactly is...

Hello again. . . Okay, I totally understand the concept of wanting/needing/hoping to try the shofar out before you buy. . . .but here in Quebec I don't think it's much of a possibility. I do not ...

Awesome discussion! :D When I first started "leading worship", I'd take a list to the OHP and say "here's the list, good luck". . .and leave it at that. . . .he'd scrounge to find the right over...

Hello again, I could have emailed you Dean, but figured this might be handy for others at some point, considering how many different browsers we all tend to use! Is there a particular browser th...

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...

Hey Dean, I've been thinking a lot about "fluff" type worship songs. . . I do enjoy Chris Tomlin's How Great is Our God--minus the line "sing with me". . . . .but anyway. . . I have just purcha...

Hi all, I agree with Helena, it seems terribly disorganized and confusing! People around this area think our church sounds confusing--people can ask questions during the sermon and such. . . .but ...

Hi, I was just mulling some things over in my head and one of those things was this question--are worship leaders called? Gifted? Talented in worship? What exactly makes them the worship "leader...

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 (...

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...

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...

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 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. ...

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...
