I've decided to revamp things on the worship team. After some good, hefty, and convicting conversations, I'm going to start holding the team accountable for daily time spent with God. I have a study that they will all be doing. It is light, brief, but informative and interesting, and about worship. They are reuired to do it. They will also be required to attend the Tuesday night study and prayer time.
They must be (along with myself, obviously) a shinging reflection of God's glory, and if they do not hold true to these requirements, they won't perform duties in teh service Sunday morning. If they continue to balk at these, they will be removed from the team. I will not be afraid to stand up on the stage by myself if I have to, and there may be a time when I do have to, and that is fine. God will be glorified in our Sunday Celebration! We need to be the new creations God intended us to be, and ones that He can use and work in and through.
We are going to start from scratch as well. This means that after tomorrow, I will do the worship by myself, and they will lead by example in the congregation. I'm excited about the change, and I want to make sure I'm taking responsibility for the ministry God has entrusted to me, and I need to feed the sheep he has brought to me! With His leading and provision, we will have the worhsip ministry I've known we could produce from the beginning!

Hey Tyler,
I was just reading some of your stuff--it's encouraging to hear how God is working in you and your ministry down there. I'm sure you'll get some flack about holding the team accountable, but that's just because no one likes to be held accountable. Good stuff though. So, I actually came by to ask you something totally random. Do you remember when you, Jason, Jaimie and I went to Michigan to that lighthouse in the middle of the night? Do you remember where it was in Michigan? (obviously on the Lake somewhere) We were just up on Lake Michigan with Pete's brother and his family a few months ago at a lighthouse and I have been wondering if it was the same one. Might not be, but I'm curious. If you remember, let me know! Thanks! :)
