Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right, the sanctuary computer keeps crashing, the guitar player is late, the keyboard doesn’t seem capable of making sound, your best vocalist calls in sick? If you have been involved in worship arts for any amount of time, you have had this experience. And yet, when the morning is over and we are able to reflect on what just happened – God still made His presence known to His gathered people. In doing that, His people were encouraged to go live for Him faithfully for another week. It’s why we do what we do and why we pick up and start the process over again on Monday.

The goal of this seminar is to encourage you and your team to continue in this ministry, give you the tools to improve in your chosen area and a fresh idea or two to implement when you go home.
