I challenge you to conduct an experiment in worship. Pick a service in the coming month and plan to do only songs that were written pre-1990. I know that sounds painful to a lot of us but give it a try. Remember to pick songs that are very familiar to most church goers. If I was a betting guy, I would bet that you would see an increase in the singing and in participation. Worship is not about you and I as worship leaders, it about helping people connect in worship. It's about giving them the opportunity to participate with all their hearts in true songs of worship.
Write me and let me know how it turns out. We would love to hear about your ideas and experience in helping your congregations better worship the Lord.
Experiencing Worship, The Study
Used by churches all over the world to help teach worship, the Experiencing Worship study can help your worship team too.
Your team will learn why we worship and gain a better understanding of how to worship.
