Re: [Worship] Age minimum for praise singers?

[Jeff Sivyer <jsivyer@ameritech.net>]

Greg, we don't have a published rule on this but when I visited a church 
in South Carolina recently I witnessed something I would like to 
implement in our church.  There regular team stood out front, both 
singers and band and then you could see positioned behind instruments 
and microphones in the background what you might call apprentices.  When 
I questioned them about what I saw this was exactly their plan. 
 Musicians that were younger and less experienced still played but they 
were not amplified to the same extent as the more experienced.  The same 
for the vocalists, three to four behind a mic.

None of this of course speaks to the level of expertise of your young 
lady but thought this might add to the discussion.   One last thing, we 
have a 7 year old who wants to sing so we've used her with the 
children's worship team and one time in a special with the kids during 
adult worship.

In His Grip,

Jeff
