Hi everyone!
Great practice this past Thursday!

Ready for Another Year!?!

I'm so excited!!!

Y'all ready for another year of worship team?

I have some old/new songs I think you'll like for us to start off the year. I could see that several of you are already looking for my posts - EXCELLENT!! Well, here ya go....

My desire, and I think the WORD that God put on my heart for our team this year is (don't laugh, as it would probably sound better if I said it than you just read it here)....

Next Level... or Level Up - if you're a gamer.

I believe God wants to take us to the Next Level this year.
...In our own worship,
....in relationship with Him,
....in leading others in worship,
....in playing and working together as a team

Some of you have heard this before, but I'm going to say it again because I believe it even more now: When you do something with your whole heart, soul, mind, and strength - things change. God notices. People notice. The enemy notices.... and trembles. If we as a team can apply our hearts, souls, minds, and strength to worship this year, it will be NEXT LEVEL. Trust me. :-)

That said, here's a list of songs to listen to (new ones first). I've told Mr. D and Mr. S that we can take a chapel in the next week or two with songs we know....
