Worship Team

        The worship team is set apart in certain ways. To serve God is something that all people can, and must do. To close off the worship team would be unethical. The worship team is always open for everyone. This makes the worship band different than other bands.
        I feel that it is important to include people. Worshiping is something everyone should be able to participate in. I am glad that the worship team is so inclusive because I can take part in it now. It is a very positive thing to take part in. I definitely observe how the worship team is set apart.

Why Aren't We Singing

        Why aren't we singing? "There has been a shift of cultur," he stated, people don't sing as much now days. Singing to God is giving a gift to him. People often don't realize the importance of this. A common cause to stop people from singing is when people don't know the song. He also described how much of the church has embraced a performance style. Certain devices deliver a performance to us. It is hard to sing, or contribute to the music when one does not have any of these devices. Psalms states how we should praise the Lord. That is what we should do.

        I feel like people don't sing as much because modern culture puts more pressure on people to meet certain standards. Many people feel that their voices may not be good enough, and thus do not sing. Self consciousness is a likely contributer to the apparent lack of people singing. I often hold back from singing because I feel like I am not a good singer. This may or may not be true, regardless I should praise God.
