I'm in an accoustic country/sorta light bluegrass gospel group (acc guitar), straight country gospel group (keyboard with DRUMS hehe), and contemporary worship team (bass). I like almost all types of music,except rap and screamo, but I've even played a rap song (BOOOOMIN') LOL. The key (so to speak) to me is variety if a church wants the worship time to appeal to a true cross-section of believers and not "MICRO-MARKET" the worship music to one segment of the church. Besides, any worship team/choir/ etc. that sticks to one type of song sung the same way every time will find people not minding skipping the worship time (physically, mentally, and spiritually). And for those who think worship music doesn't matter at all, try going through a month of services with absolutely NO music - NONE - no background at the start, no "preludes", no calls to worship, no offering music, no songs of praise, no offering music, no special music, no anthems, no invitation (not even "just as I am")...none.... Remember the Psalms are POETRY and many were set to music. There are sections of the New Testament that most scholars believe are portions of hymns that the early church sang. - Anyways, geesh I should have blogged on this myself... LOL<br /><br />Bottom line, diff drumm, is you da man and keep encouraging our worship leaders to keep up the variety - the people love it and the worship time is getting better and better. Besides I'm sure God appreciates the different scent flavors in the aroma...<br /><br />May 4, 2009 3:47 PM5-stringernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901961721017159085.post-31873664738760442692009-05-04T15:47:00.000-04:002009-05-04T15:47:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.5-stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789272855189059671noreply@blogger.com
