Swapping Ideas
Nancy & I had the privilege today of spending time with a small group of arts & worship leaders from the Orlando area ... well, technically not all were from Orlando, one came all the way from Dallas, Texas.
I wish you could have been there. The group had people who had been leading in the church for more than 20 years and some for less than a month. Both groups brought experiences and insights that we all benefited from.
People shared ideas & strategies for recruiting volunteers, auditions, team building, creating services and a lot more.
One of my favorite parts of the day was hearing some of the creative ideas they have been using at their weekend services. Bernard DeLoach, the arts leaders at Discovery Church showed us a video they plan on showing this weekend; it was great. The team at Florida Hospital Church told us about a video they created, Before He Speaks. When I got back to the hotel, I looked ... maybe some of you have seen it. All I have to say is good job Stanley! (He was the creative force behind the video.)
We will be in New Jersey for the next Leader's Table ... hope to spend some time with you out there & learn how God is using you the arts in the local church.
