“Worship Matters” is here! - Plus my promised Sunday Recap
Worship Matters - Leading Others to Encounter the Greatness of God
A while back Bob Kauflin offered the opportunity to win a free copy of his new book that shares the title of his website. We were asked to tell why worship matters in 100 words or less. I was able to keep mine to exactly 100 words and I was informed that I was one of the twenty winners, which is very exciting, because I was hoping to get a copy of the book.
Well, it’s here (complete with a hand-written note on the inside cover - now that’s just downright cool) and I’m already devouring it. I’ll be posting a review when I’m finished with the book (hopefully within this week or next.)
Sunday Recap
This Sunday was a good day at Living Word, as always, but with a few hiccups. The first issue was that the folks who were running EasyWorship weren’t sure how to get it to project on the screen. A few settings needed to be changed and we were up and running. We’ll have to make sure all the video operators know how to troubleshoot.
The second issue was that since we’re a church plant that sets up every week, we record our sermons on CF cards. Well, the CF cards went missing and we didn’t catch the sermon, which is unfortunate, because it was very good and very convicting.
Other than that, the day was great. One thing that I notice as I type, however, is the only song I remember us singing is “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us.” When I plan the music for a service I get so intimately familiar with the songs. This week, since I didn’t plan them, I barely remember them. I guess that’s food for thought when worrying if we’re singing a new song too often when we’re introducing it - perhaps people don’t even remember what we sang last week!
All in all - a good day at Living Word. Tomorrow I’ll share my 100 word response to the question, “Why does worship matter?”
