One of my “weaknesses” as a Worship Leader is recruiting. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the person who wants to go out and get all up in people’s faces trying to persuade them to join the team.
That being said, there are ways to build a team without being a recruit nazi or without constantly feeling like you’re chasing people. Each one of these ways works and can be a great way to add members to your team!
1) Washed By The Water (needtobreathe): Key A. Great tune. Soulful, bluesy. Fun time on ths one.
2) See His Love (Tim Hughes): Key Bm. This one has grown on me. I think I heard the Jesus Culture version recently and really liked it.
3) Hosanna (Brooke Fraser): Key E. Great tune.
4) Follow After You AKA Psalm 63 (Russ Hutto): Key G. This one goes over well everywhere I do it. Thanking God for a great song!
5) Step by Step (Beaker/Mullins): Key G. Medleyed right into this chorus from previous song.
6) How Deep The Father’s Love (Townsend): Key D/E. After sermon.
Enjoyed being in rotation after a month break. Love helping to lead at St. Simons Community Church.

Last month I had a chance to go to Re:Create. It’s an amazing “unconference” designed to be a refreshing and challenging time of retreat, learning, early adopting, creative display, etc. And from the moment I got there I realized I don’t EVER want to miss it.
Those of you who have complained about the cost and how the registration fees could be used elsewhere just don’t understand. It was worth every penny I paid out of my own pocket to meet some of the most amazing brothers and sisters in Christ that I’ll ever meet. The networking opportunities are phenomenal. The challenges brought by the speakers/artists and fellow attendees will remain with me for life. I am a better follower of Christ because of that week and I’ll defend it boldy and confidently.
In my last post, I talked about what the Church in America needs to be successful. It needs only to BE a collective representation of Christ to the communities that surround.
It doesn’t need to be another entertainment venue or concert hall.
It doesn’t need to be a comedy club or a dramatic theater.
The Church is God’s. We are His.
