[Worship] Re: worship-digest V1 #404
Hi!
Been lurking for a long time! Just a little query that I'm hoping someone
can help me with. The youth in our church went off to a youth conference
here in England and encountered a cool worship band who played songs by
Delirious? Matt Redman, kevin prosch etc and came back fired up to worship
but because the band at church is pretty tame (I play in the band!!) and
the leader can't seem to snap out of the usual Integrity, Hosanna stream of
songs, the youth seem very turned off.
I want to make it more relevant for them and for the students in the church
who would enjoy this type of worship but it's a slow process. the youth
want to take a Sunday service and play these new songs but the elders of
our church don't want to start a youth thing because they don't want to
marginalise them. I personally would love to see the mian worship group
broaden out into material which will appeal to them.
Does anyone have any wisdom about how this can be achieved, especially when
dealing with a very sensitive worship leader who sees any new suggestions
as an undermining of his leadership??
Thanks
Mike
