quick break in transmission

I know I haven't been adding articles to this blog as often as I should, and the reason really is that I'm still dealing with my new house renovations and a busy period at work and that's taking up all my time, but when the house is finally dealt with and I get a holiday, I'll update this more often. See y'all soon!

Talent (or lackthereof)

One of the most distressing issues that face worship directors is people who want to volunteer for the choir, or worship team, but can't sing or play an instrument.

So, what to do with these people? Especially in smaller churches, finding people for the choir or to sing backup can be difficult. It's a bit more clear cut with instruments, either you can, or you can't, and so turning people away is a bit easier. But when you need a choir and there's only about 200 people in the church and you have 40 who want to join the choir and only 10 of them can sing in pitch, what can someone do?

Or another example, if someone wants to become a worship leader but can't sing in pitch and has an annoying voice that would become more of a distraction from worship, what happens then? If they claim to be appointed by God to lead in worship but whenever they open their mouths the congregation has to cover their ears?

the lines are open, folks, post your opinions and thoughts on this in the comment section!

The beginning of something new

So, this is the start of a new blog, one specifically geared towards something that's close to my heart, and that's worship. Through this blog, I'll be sharing about issues in worship and do feel welcome to comment, share, criticize (but not too much!) or even just stop by to chat. Keep watching this page for new stuff!
