We have labeled those who stand on the stage with instruments or microphones and lead a song service "The Worship Team". The title makes me squirm a bit.
What makes a Worship Team? How about the pastors of each department, spending hours and hours preparing for the weekend. Isn't that a Worship Team? How about the guys in the orange vests standing in the drizzle with big smiles and waves, welcoming every person as they come to church? How about the snack bar crew, arriving at church while it's still dark to make coffee for the early birds? And those angels who lovingly rock screaming babies, willingly change icky diapers? Definitly a Worship Team.
And the people -- babies, children, youth, adults -- coming to church to learn about God, inviting Him to change who they are, lifting hands and hearts and lives to Him -- isn't that truly The Worship Team? Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly as though unto God. Because YOU are the Worship Team.
When the music fades, all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart,
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You, Jesus

Amen MamaSue!!! That's all.
You rocked up there tonight! Even if you didn't stick your tongue out at me like you used to do. Maybe singing back up for Sylvia wasn't the right time for it?
