Today, David and Kevin tackle a topic that has been a point of contention for many worship leaders for many years – what are the guidelines for introducing a new song? How many new songs can you do throughout the course of a year? When you introduce it, how should you teach it to your [...]

Kevin’s Weekend Review: 2-22-09
Posted in Worship Ministry Catalyst on 23 February 2009

This Sunday I had another one of our co-leaders pick some of the music and lead the songs.  It was kind of exciting, because he picked songs that I normally would never do… but it totally worked.  I think because he’s a co-leader and a layperson, there’s a little more grace from the congregation to [...]

Hi everyone!  Well… I didn’t have the “Valentine’s Day Problems” that David had since we just have a Sunday service.  But, I did have some other challenges to face as we had one of the laypeople in our church (Steve) preaching this Sunday.  Additionally, I had one of my co-leaders leading most of the songs [...]

This is one of those times that Having a Saturday night service really impacted us. Generally speaking it seems to be a pretty convenient time for a large group of our body and the people who serve on a weekend, but when that service falls on Valentine’s Day, it makes things a little bit more [...]

Posted in Tech on 13 February 2009

Today I wanted to write about a tech tool that I use quite often, the iPod. Of course, not everybody has an ipod, some have other brands of mp3 players, some use CD’s etc. Here’s why I use an ipod (or any mp3 player) instead of CD’s. First, it’s easier to go through a lot [...]
