Second, our practice time... 11:30AM this Saturday...
Third, random thoughts...
1.) Devotion is our new song for this week... seems like a simple enough song but if you don't listen to it a couple of times it's a very tough song to learn, especially for our singers...
2.) 3 stages to a band... IMITATE-MANIPULATE-CREATE... First, all bands start out by trying to imitate and duplicate other band's songs... Then, as they get comfortable enough, they start manipulating songs to suit their own styles... Finally, as they become experts at manipulating and rearranging other people's songs, they realize it doesn't take much more to create their own songs. The reason I mention this is because I believe it is our ultimate goal to be creative in our worship for God. We often tend to be less engaged in worship sometimes because we lack ownership of the songs that we're playing and singing. All we're merely doing is imitating songs that others have created. But imagine, if we were playing songs that we created for God for His glory. Our worship will be much more engaging.
3.) Why the jibberish up there? Let's level up. We have grown tremendously since when we first started. I remember purposely avoiding difficult songs because I knew we wouldn't be able to cover it, but now I feel comfortable challenging any songs. But I feel we could be even better, and the first and most important thing we need is commitment; to God, to eachother, and to reach the ultimate goal of being able to worship God creatively that translates to a more intimate worship. Remember, the first God that we are introduced to through the word is the God of creation. God is a creative God. I believe as worshippers of God we are called to seek new and every way to worship God more creatively.
Doesn't it excite you? That we are not bound to any formalities in worship? Imagine. We have to worship God for eternity and all we can do is stand, lift our hands and sing along to someone as we worship God. There is more. There has to be more. Let's go find out.
