But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his place.
Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him!
Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth;
yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice,
and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
1 Chronicles 16:

And Samuel said,
“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
and to listen than the fat of rams.
A Psalm for giving thanks.
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
And the Lord said:
“Because this people draw near with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,

The heart of worship
Our worship must be spiritual. The spirit of the worshiper is the part that is connected to God in times of worship. The heart and the soul are involved, but are not in charge.
When it comes to worshiping the Trinity, we have to approach God in Love, in peace, and in obedience.
It’s very important that we do NOT come to worship God in a way that brings along any idols. We are not worshiping worship. We are not there to perform for people, or to make them happy. We are not even there to make THEM worship.
We worship God to worship God.
Within the Catch the Fire movement we have accessed an approach to worship that puts an emphasis on Joyful songs, and intimacy in the presence of God.
As worshipers we press toward His presence, singing His truth as we go.
Practicing the Presence of God in our cars, in our quiet times, in the secret place, is the best way to be truly prepared to worship in the public place. That’s how we become accustomed to letting our spirit take charge.
We are going to meet God
God is awesome

Lot’s of preparation in our talent does not always mean preparation in our hearts. We need both, but must focus most of all on our o
Direction for CTFG regarding worship and worship leading from Jonathan and Jake
• We worship because he’s worthy. When we get together to sing we always wanna think about songs that minister to Gods heart as well as ours! • We have values of encountering Gods transforming presence so in worship times we can unashamedly focus on his presence, exalting god being in our midst!📷
As for working with musicians, we value raising up and developing leaders so we obviously want to facilitate and not distract the congregation, but we also want to work to make space to help people develop in their calls!
An effective worship leader will tend to:
arrive first
cause their band feel safe and encouraged - lots of “i love it” and other encouragements.
lead from a place of deep personal worship
own the platform
keep the first things first
-Sunday morning is about worship. Reach out to bandmates later to address any other issues that may have come up.
Use your influence for good
Helpful Model for sets:
Up the mountain, into the courts, into the holy of holies and back out again into the courts.

Practicum
We are eliminating the tithe talk, and the worship times will be getting that 10 minutes.
I would love to see consistent bands.
Theoretically:
Accoustic Guitar
Carolyn, Brendan, Corbin, Julie,
Todd, Carolyn B, Dylan
Bass
Dylan, Jake
Drums
Sam, Corbin
Keys
Julie, Tesia
Electric
Jake, Brendan
Three singers
Carloyn, Candice, Tesia, Todd, Dylan, Carolyn M, Jake, Lauren, Rovirginette
Expectations:
Worship team members will attend church more than they don’t, particularly when not on a team.
For context, Sam and Dylan are weak in this area, but Candice and Carolyn B are strong in this area.
Worship team members will be standing at the ready at 9am.
Worship team members will demonstrate a desire to be proficient in their gifts, or to grow if needed. We are not performing, we are breaking open our hearts, so we will allow a BROAD definition of proficient and refrain from addressing mistakes or lack of talent as disqualifiers.
Worship leaders will restrict their leadership to primarily the music as much as possible/appropriate, leading people into worship by burning in worship themselves.
One Worship leader
Give opportunities to Ignite groups for growing musicians
