I am the choir director for the Young Adult Choir at my church. We have been singing together for almost 4 years. My church is a very old and conservative church. God spoke to me about starting a Young Adult Choir. We have alot of young people under the age of 35 but there isn't really anything for them to do. There are 15 choir members and they sound really good together now. It was a rough start. As I said they sound really good together, at rehearsal but come the sunday we sing it's like we have never rehearsed at all.
I have been speaking to them about letting the songs ministered to them. I have also said that it doesn't matter how the congregation looks at them or talks about them, they can't get you into heaven. I tell them to just let go and let God in and He will take care of the rest. When we talk about it, they nod their heads in agreement with me but come the 4th Sunday when we sing, they shut down again.
This has been going on for awhile now. Any advice on what I can tell the choir? I have said all I can say. I don't know what else to do. I have prayed and prayed for God to give me answer. He has given me what to say in the past but how can I get the choir to truly understand?
Thanks
God Bless
