set list
Alright, now we’ve gotten into
one of the hardest parts of being
in church music: the church
musicians.
There’s a lot of joy in creating
music with like-minded souls,
but there’s equal amounts of
conflict, frustrations, passiveaggressive
prayers, and occasionally
drumsticks snapping in two
mid-air (This actually happened.
Someone dubbed the incident
“divine intervention.”).
Working with other people
always leaves room for mistakes
and hurt and a lot of realizing
that people are very, very flawed.
At times you’ll be staring at
your fellow teammates on their
phones, seemingly not caring
that you can’t get the key change
right, and you’ll be thinking, “Am
I the only person who even cares
that this is good?? Why can’t they
be more serious? More dedicated?
More like me?”
that together
you may
with one
voice glorify
the God
and Father
of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:6
Remember that you have so many flaws as well and keep. Calm. About. It.
We’re here to build each other up, and now is not the right time to compare yourself
to your teammates because we are all messed up, okay? We’re offering a broken melody as
broken people, and the only position of importance is held by God, so don’t look down
on everyone just because they’re not cooperating. Talk it over. Pray. Hold your ground.
You are all working toward the same goal:
worshiping God. Just because the ways you go about it
might be different, that doesn’t mean you’re more valid for
your way or they’re less worthy because of their way. In the
end, you have the same goal. You’re working together, not
against each other.
Show! Up! To! Practice! Just as being there for each other is encouraging, the inverse
can be a real kick in the gut. Seeing people not prioritize being there, not giving it their
all, not being willing to go above the bare minimum, and just going with it because they
have to and not because they really want to is the perfect way to let someone down. It
doesn’t help the church when the people who are leading it in worship can’t make time
to prepare. If you’re doing this, do it wholeheartedly.
