pre production and stuff

Have you ever gone to a concert, or some theatrical performance and was just astounded by the production of it all? All the elements came together at the right moment, the lighting, fog or haze, the music, etc... It communicates the purpose and the message of the performance. 

All of these things had to be practiced, people had to be trained, actors rehearsed, etc... This is pre-production. For the school of worship, our pre-production consists primarily of two things,band practice(learning songs, prayerfully considering exhortations, stage presence) andpre-production-performancewith the Acquire The Fire (ATF) crew (actually leading worship with the atf staff, or putting on a show like its live).
The School of Worship has been and will continue to be doing Pre-Production with ATF this month, practicing, and rehearsing to bring you the best experience this year at Acquire the Fire and church events, festivals.

A lot of things come into play when you're leading worship, whether it be for a large or small group, and I thought it would be fun to share some tips:

1) Always bring the point of what you're singing, and what you say in between songs back to Jesus because He is the sole purpose for why we do what we do.

2) Beware of crutch words and phrases when praying or giving direction. Be purposeful in what you say and pray.

3) Be natural when leading worship, because you should be aiming to bring them to a place you've already been on your own.

4) Be humble. The bible says that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

That's all for now, love you guys. Seek first God's Kingdom.

Soli Deo Gloria
