TIPS For the Sunday Fellowship Worship Team
Aim
We
discover the importance of worship in Sunday Fellowship. We feel that worship is a form of
communication with God. Many times we think that worship is just going through
enjoyable songs. The words do not mean
anything to us and neither do achieve the sense of closeness to God through
songs or hymns.
We
aim not to pick songs just at random.
The Worship Leader has the responsibility to gather the team together on
Saturday to discuss what to do during Sunday Fellowship the next day. The Worship Leader will also pick the songs
that are “linked” with a similar theme.
The
primary aim of the Worship Leader is to direct the whole worship back to
God. That the congregation can have a
meaningful worship experience with God.
It is not an introduction to new songs.
It is not an introduction to nice songs. The congregation on the other
hand can have free expressions to worship, related to the songs picked by the
Worship Leader.
Much
prayer is needed on top of the preparations to help the Worship Leader chose
the right songs as well as conduct the whole worship.

The
key for the heart of worship is a triangle.
God
Worship Leader ∆ Congregation
The Worship Leader aims to help the Congregation communicate with
God through songs and helps them also to reflect about themselves. The leader tries to give all glory back to
God by using a selection of songs, music, dance, programs in order to get the
hearts of the congregation right with God.
The
success of the worship is for everybody to worship God together in Spirit and
in Truth. The Congregations ought to
feel the presence of God and be able to freely communicate with Him.
Songs
used during the worship may be :
a)
To praise and adore God
b)
To Thank God
c)
To worship and magnify Him
d)
To rejoice in our fellowship
with one another as a Body of Christ
The tempo of the songs is dependent
on how the Worship Leader interprets the words. He or she may want the songs to
be according to the tempo of how the song writer wrote it. That means the
leader needs to have the CD to have an idea of the speed. Should the Leader want the congregation to
meditate on the words, the speed should be slow.
Should the Leader want the congregation to
rejoice and be glad, the speed should pick up and the congregation respond more
lively.
