Let Everything that Has Breath Praise the Lord!
Just as we have cultivated a preaching team to equip more faithful heralds to declare that Jesus is Lord, we have recently taken steps to do the same to encourage and train more leaders of worship.
A key part of the vision for having Seth Slay at the helm of our worship ministry is a new monthly worship leader equipping gathering.
The first equipping event was held last month, and these trainings will continue on a monthly basis. During May’s meeting, Dean shared that those desiring to lead worship have a rare opportunity to learn from Seth who has been called by God and has cultivated his God-given abilities to lead in a way that beautifully facilitates worship of God. He also relayed several benefits for the church, musicians, those who are not yet worshiping God and the Lord Himself that will result if we cultivate a growing worship leadership community. Seth cast the vision of worship as exalting God in all of life for all people in all ways and then he relayed the essential worship values of artistry, collaboration and attentiveness. An exciting conversation followed as many of Hope’s musicians engaged.
Our monthly equipping gatherings are open to all musicians and potential worship leaders from within and outside of Hope. If you or anyone you know is eager to grow as a facilitator of worship, learn musical skills, develop the ability to prepare and remain flexible when leading, etc., we encourage you to join us at our next training on June 17 (and on the third Thursday of every month) at 6:30 p.m. in Hope’s Sanctuary!
SUNDAY SERVICE 9 AM | JUNE 6. Following Jesus is not always easy or comfortable. It often wasn’t easy for the disciples, especially when He led them into unexpected places – like Samaria – and did unexpected things – like talking alone with a woman at a well. But it is often in these moments where the most profound, earth-shattering revelations of God are given, and the abundant fruit of salvation is seen. As believers at Hope, we want to walk faithfully with our God – even as He leads us into uncomfortable places in our lives. Join us in person or online (live and recorded service) as Hope Intern Tara Farrell brings us a message entitled Into Uncomfortable Places from John 4:1-42.
