Worship Leader Lessons, #1

Worship Leader Lessons
This blog stinks. It's been treading water since the beginning of the summer, where it's only consisted of weekly recaps of Sunday morning tunes - not even a new ridiculous video . . . I'm initiating a new attempt at adding some content.I've been having an email exchange with a friend over the past few days regarding how I do certain things in the worship ministry. Which got me thinking - maybe this same info would benefit others. So i'm starting a new series on this blog . . . little lessons I've learned. Personal policies i follow. Weekly procedures…

Choir resumes . . .

Friday Favorites, schedule
Choir kicks back off tomorrow with normal Wednesday rehearsals. If you've never been to choir, ever - please come. You don't have to know how to read music. We provide snacks and drinks, and childcare should you need it. Don't feel like a commitment to choir at Oak Mountain means you have to be there every Wednesday night! You know that lady that sits by the door and checks your name off on a role as you walk in - she doesn't come to this choir.Don't feel like showing up at 6:30 would be a waste of your time. The…

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

announcements, Friday Favorites, schedule
Finishing up plans for Christmas. Our Spectacular Spectacular is going to be the morning of December 13 - both services.We start rehearsing on September 16. I start charting next week.

I continue to be amazed at…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – July 26 (on Tuesday)

setlists
This blog is pathetic. (By the way, if you're reading this on Facebook, it's because my profile automatically pulls in content from my blog - at https://jasonsears.com)I've been out of town a bit this summer, and doing some other projects, so i haven't been putting any time or thought into the blog, except for these Monday morning recaps, which may be helpful - i don't know.This past Sunday morning was the 6th Annual Bullfrog Choir. And it was awesome. About 120 guys getting up and leading in worship - singing melody, and making a HUGE noise. There's never any prep,…
