4- Doing Multiple Church Services Well

Multiple Church Services can be incredibly taxing, but they can also create huge blessings for you, your worship team and the whole congregation.

Multiple Church Services Should Mean Multiple Blessings!

Most often we turn to multiple church services because we cannot fit people into a single service, or because we have people who want something different from the service, and we feel it is impossible to join the different needs and cater for them in the single service. In this week's 12 minutes pod, Erick and Darin discuss the various reasons for going to 2 or more services, the pitfalls, the fallout and the blessings that you might see along the way. And trust me, there are blessings if we do this right, but there can be curses if we do it wrong! So whether your church is growing so well that you need to change the way you do church on a Sunday, or whether you have two fighting factions each of whom demands a church service to their own liking, there are potential blessings and curses along the road. The guys discuss the recent changes they have experienced in church, and how we can see those become a blessing rather than a curse for your people.

Deuteronomy 28:1-68 ESV 

“And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lordyour God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. ... So listen to this week's pod and faithfully obey what the Lord is leading you into... And how do multiple services work, what times can you use, should the same worship songs or even the same sermon be used in each?  These are the pressing questions the guys answer in this week's 12 minutes for worship leaders...

3- Organising Your Song List the Right Way

Organising your song list might sound like a pretty dull thing to talk about on the 12 minutes for worship leader's podcast, but organising your song list correctly can be one of the most rewarding things in your ministry.

Organising Your Song List Breathes Life into Your Ministry

OK, I will admit that organising anything can be a real drama, especially for those of us who are "free-flowing musicians and singers," but even I grow tired of the disorganisation that accompanies much of our worship environment.  Put simply, we cannot have a songbook that is 3,500 pages long (not if we want to stay sane!), so we need a strategy that enables us to have a manageable song list. You cannot have your worship team wading through mountains fo song sheets trying to find the right song in the right key, 2 minutes before you take to the stage at church!  Having identifiable songs in easy to access areas is absolutely key for your worship leading, and making sure everyone has a current copy makes life so much easier.  Now, I know this stuff is far from glamorous, but this podcast is dealing with the intensely practical issues of song lists, keys, adding new songs and all the little things that can make life a bit sweeter. So this is 12 minutes on how you can transform your worship team, help them cope with new songs, old songs and everything in between, and make life and ministry a whole lot easier.  And if life is more cruisy for your worship team, trust me, it will be better for you in the long run.  Part of leadership is management, both of resources and also of people, and this podcast will go a long way towards giving you a great start as you manage your worship team.
