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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Just wondering if I'm the only one (on this forum) who cannot listen to non-Christian music. . . . it does nasty things to my brain. . . makes me kind of grumpy. So, I listen only to Christian musi...

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, 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...

Morning Dean et al, I don't have time at the moment to read your whole post, but glanced quickly. . .my question would be and I really wish I could be here to join the chat today, but I am unable t...

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...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Yeah, I used to do this all by hand, now I just couldn't! I'm quite spoiled. :) The best thing is that this program will even transpose the songs for you! (guitar chords, not sheet music) Certa...

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...

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...

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. 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 ...
