Hi team – some of you may have heard that I am praying about starting up the "Upper Room" worship night again in 2012. I am really excited about doing it!
A few things I wanted to share with everyone before things really get rolling.
#1 – Obviously, not everyone will be able to play or sing every time we meet. I will need to be prayerfully selective about how the teams are constructed. On the one hand I don't want to leave anyone out, but on the other hand I am not sure that I have a peace about just popping everyone into a rotation and calling it a day. Josh and I will be talking and praying about the dates, the team lineup, etc. What I would like to encourage the team members to do is be flexible with regards to how things move forward.
#2 – the worship will be DIFFERENT from what we do on Sunday morning. It will be softer, more 'lingering,'
Etc. I am attaching some links to the type of music we'll be doing. This type of music and worship setting it going to require that the musicians develop some very specific skills:
- Ability to play with spirit-led creativity and inspiration
- Ability to play spontaneously in a key
- Ability to sense where the leader is going to to follow
So what I am saying is that being a part of the Upper Room will be more than just showing up for a practice and doing a set of music. There will be spiritual and musical preparation involved -
#3 – MOST IMPORTANT – a spiritual sense of worshipping with your instrument, being led by the Holy Spirit, and develop a spiritual sensitivity to the environment.
Here are some links to the type of music we'll be introducing:
