Random Worship Thoughts…..

Sound, how loud is too loud and how quiet is too quiet…  Do I have to ask the Pastor what he is preaching on and match the songs to the sermon theme…  Two fast songs, 2 medium songs and 2 slow songs is that right…   What is prophetic worship and is it for Sunday morning….  What is presence worship and is that for Sunday morning…  The musicians are only volunteers so I can’t ask them for too much of their time right…   Can unsaved people play on the worship team….. Should I lead with my eyes open or closed….   Do I look at the people during worship to see if they are engaged….   What if they are not participating what do I do….  Are Hymns outdated and what about choirs…  As a worship pastor can I just be myself or am I expected to act a certain way….  Does the worship team need to pray together before practice, after practice, on Sunday morning….  What’s the difference between practice and a run-through…  Is giving the team a CD and music and asking them to learn their parts at home asking too much…  How do I handle negative or critical comments…  How long should the music go for…  What if my drummer is a no show on Sunday morning…  Why is it important for the members of the team to all make practice…  Does the team have to learn the song the way it’s on the CD, can’t we just “make it our own”…  What does it mean to go deeper... Do I have to play "Easter songs" on Easter, Christmas songs on Christmas... My thoughts and experiences on these subjects will be posted from time to time.
