Hello everyone! I'm a new worship leader. 4 months to be more descriptive.

I'm a new worship leader of a new church (3 years). We just reformatted our worship style. 

I don't want to start with negative things but ummm I wanna keep it real (to myself that is). So I hope you don't mind. Here are my current issues:

1. I'm 27 and 50% of the people I work with are older than me. Like 20 to 30 years older. Leadership is not so much of a problem since they are really nice people. But their being nice is exactly what's bothering me. They're nice people and really love to worship but their voice and skills (instruments) are not really up to par with our standards (youth). We all started together and somehow the young people grew and they stopped somewhere along the way.

2. I feel required to give everyone a go. Even though they are not really good. Some can't even hit the right notes. We used to be a choir, a group of 25. Now the stage accommodates a max of 6 people as song leaders. (We have reasons and it has been very effective). 

3. Is it ok for gay (gay who expresses their admiration of the same sex and wears clothes that women do with short hair though) to song lead? I haven't raised this issue to our pastor yet.

4. Before I was a worship leader, I was a regular choir member. And so I had friends. And it just so happened that my friends are the strongest singers we have. Now that I am the worship leader, some people (youth) say that I just put my friends on stage and not everyone else. I don't think it's my fault that my friends are the strongest singers we have and everyone else usually goes out of tune.

To my fellow WTR Singers,

 

Please take a moment  to check out my brand new blog 'Gospel High Notes'.

 

It's hot off the press and i am still constructing some pages, but you can still read the latest posts. I just finished one called    ' The Internet Is No Substitute For A Doctor'   Have a look and feel free to leave  your comments and feedback too.

 

Post currently lined up for release over the next few weeks include:

 

The Gospel Singer's Voice

One Size Doesn't Fit All

Praise and Worship and the Struggling Vocalist

The Preachers Voice

 

The aim is to build this blog into the biggest online vocal advice centre for christian vocalists  from across the world. In fact my research so far, reveals one does not exit like this, so everyone who subscribes will be helping the site get more and more recognition.

 

There will be something there for the  singer, rapper, preacher or teacher.

So,if you have been wanting to build your vocals into effortless melodies and skills for Christ and Ministry, then GHN is the place to be.

GHN aims to provide the most comprehensive online advice centre for the gospel vocalist and preacher but still need followers to make it work.

Even if you don't sing or preach or don't want to comment, you can still help  just by subscribing.   GHN is at http://sosvocals.blogspot.com

 

Hope to see you there.

Dionne

Worship Leaders, start preaching Matthew 24 and incorporate this gospel into your music. You have to trust the word of G-d which abides forever. Trust in the Son of G-d who redeems the world from all its sin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew 24:14: "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come."

The church that I play at almost every Sunday evening tried to reach me because they needed someone to lead worship this past Sunday. They didn't know my number but they were able to get Katie, a young lady, to lead that evening.

No problem.

Some of you are probably saying, "What??" but for the rest of you, uhn-uhn; don't. Not only do I play acoustic guitar (insturment of choice by a lot of Christian praise bands), I also drum with sticks and with my hands; and play keys. So, I played my conga with Katie and when I found out she had to go early, I stepped up because I had one of my acoustic guitars with me. So after the message was brought forth I had two songs ready (but they only neeeded one; still no problem). I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to play when needed both on guitar and on conga(s).

Hey guys, I'm working on putting together audio interviews with some leaders who have great insights to offer us. This is definitely in the beginning stages, but hopefully before long I'll have some great conversations to share with you!
