Choir - A Spiritual Family
What we do is have a group leader for each section of the choir that we call Care Leaders. They take care of those in their sections with Birthday cards, prayer needs, and any other physical and spiritual need they may have. Sort of a small church lay leader. Create a family environment and you will see the New Testament church in action.

TEAM UPS
Well, our church is a good size, about 250-300 members. What we did was we divided our Worship Team into 4. One team leads each week and we also let the Youth have their own team that leads the last week of each month. This way, team members will not burn out and give more others a chance to be in the Music Ministry....

GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

Sunday Off
I give my whole team every 7th Sunday off, sort of a Sabbath rest if
you will. We are a small church with just one team, so this regular break
gives all the team members a chance to rest, and to be worshippers without
having to be on.

Thanks for the tip guys!!!

Separate Times for Singers
Our worship team rehearses every week on Thursday night. I start with the singers alone- at 7pm. We break at 7:30 to have a prayer and short devotion time. At that time (7:30) the
musicians are scheduled to come in, so we do our prayer/devotion time as a WHOLE GROUP. We try to finish up by 7:50. Then from 7:50 till about 8:30 or 8:45 (depending on how many songs we do) I rehearse singers and musicians together. I let the singers go at about 8:30- 8:45 and finish up with musicians. I try to be done with everybody by 9:00 to 9:15. The separate time working with singers and musicians really pays off as far as the skill quality of our band, and the prayer/devotion time really helps us to bond together and to focus on God. You may want to rehearse musicians before the singers, whatever you find works for you. My main musician (keyboard player) was always late when I rehearsed musicians first, so I switched times! I Hope it helps! -DJ
