Well, I hope you are enjoying your time off to reflect back on last year and consider all God has done for you, is doing and take hope in what He will do. It's been and exciting, reflective holiday season for me...not always blissfull but as I was reminded on sunday, sometimes we do are best growing in the rain.
I want to encourage you all to participate in the blog. I see it as a great gift for us to better communicate in 2008 and keep on track with the direction we want to go as a worship team. And what direction might that be you may ask?
Here are a few things I believe the Lord has place on my heart for us to grow in in the new year:
Evangelistic Praise - God inhabits the praises of His people. Besides God being at our service each week, two other types of people will always be present...those who know and have a relationship with Him and those who do not. We should make it our priority each week to prepare ourselves spiritually and musically to help both types meet with God each sunday. Our job is to declare God's praise through song and worship so that those who do not know Him will have the chance to come and know Him. Those who know Him, to know Him better.
Journey toward excellence - We owe God all...our best efforts...we should dedicate ourselves to improving our musicianship/soundengineering/singing/worship leading skills to continually improve what we do each week by: Ongoing training and workshops, better preparation and organization..Individual practice are all areas we can approach...
Love and fellowship - "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" We should always look for ways to foster an environment with the help of God's Spirit and leading, to truely love one another just as Jesus told us to do...Let's look for ways to practice love with one another...Let's find some ways to enjoy eachother besides just worship related activities...and if all else fails...let's go bowling...how bad can it be???
Please...Please....Please feel free to leave your comments, insights and concerns...
In Christ,
Vince
