Praise Team Issues
« on: December 18, 2006, 09:49:43 AM »
I was recently appointed youth praise team leader.We have sang a couple of times,but there seems to be a problem.Everytime we have sang we have not sounded good at all. In practice we are boomin with the right harmonies and the music is just right but when it comes to sunday morning....musicians dont remember the keys and melodies and the squad act like they cant sing anymore.I don't understand.

Please help!!!! They are talented group of kids but when it comes to sundays they get stuck.What can I do to help sound the same like they did at our rehersals.

thanks in advance

More than likely, they're nervous before service. They're kids, after all and it happens. Work on their self-esteem and confidence and see if THAT doesn't improve their overall sound.

PRAY!!! pray before practice,pray before sevice!!!  the enemy does all he can to sidetrack us.few years ago was in a band with some heavy players.(one cat had been on the road with andre crouch at age 12) came time to minister,if we weren't prayed up and for,looked like we had never seen our axes till we got up to pray.so pray,and then pray some more!!!!be blessed. as far as esteem,paul said i have NO confidence in the flesh.GOD exalts the humble,and opposes the proud. too much dr phil self -esteem type stuff- our GLORY is CHRIST-in us

We're talking about kids, mind you. That sounds reeeeeal good, but how many kids do you know that understand the writings of Paul?


Lets not get too "churchified" that we forget that there is a development process that still has to take place. 


Prayer is critical. Self-esteem is also important. .


I CAN do all things through CHRIST....

While there is the acknowledgement that it IS through Christ, there is still the need to take possession of that authority(exusia) and ability(dunamis)which Christ enables us to excercise through Him.

You feel good when you know you "can"-e.g. Self-esteem. Although the "can" comes from Christ.

LOL... Tiffany..... dont you ever notice thats why I stop beatin the drums??? LOL......

Naw, but look at where our church was two years ago, and look at it now that we have helped them out..... through prayer and our own experience. I am encouraging you to the fullest. I can see in your face week after week that you are ready to give up, but dont. You were put in that position for a reason...... Dont be discouraged please. And like Sjon said, they are kids, and are probably nervouse...... I will help in any way that I can..... Just remember that I got your back. Look over at me next time, and I will yell out the right note..... or throw a drum stick.....

...and as for the musicians.... LOL.................... some one once told me, that if you have nothing nice to say...  :-X  :-X  :-X

Oooooh, you can have one of the little kids pull the fire alarm too....... that always works.

But for real, where we are now, is HUGE compared to where the church was before. I know how you know who fells about you know what... so we just gonna hursh...... the musicians will come. But God isnt going to send a blessing in the midst of confussion, crap, and inconsistency. Its coming.... trust me, look at how far I have come. Look at how far you have come, your choir and PT..... its a tremendous work..... jsut stay prayerful, and know that all things work together for the good..... You are gonna look back on this a praise God for what He had planned all along. Just be patient.....

Oh, and errrr, ummmmm......... Have you seen my white Nikes???? I cant find 'em yo....

Anyway, see you later.
