What are some things we can do to ensure that we, as Music Leaders, are fully present?

Come into His presence with a joyful song . . . Psalms 100:2 Let us enter His presence with a song of thanksgiving . . . Psalms 95:2 -

HE HAS MADE ME GLAD-KSB #264 I will enter His gates with thanks-giving in my heart, I will enter His courts with praise, I will say this is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice for he has made me glad. He has made me glad, He has made me glad. I will rejoice for He has made me glad. He has made me glad, He has made me glad,

Be Fully Present Be engaged & aware of Participants Maintain contact with Leaders Ready to provide music at a moments notice Glorify God, Not Self Focus on God, no entertaining Lead group singing, no solo performances

Help Build Family Unity Enhance “the Program” Use songs to ease transitions Use action songs to engage participants Get everyone up and have some fun! Help Build Family Unity Have participants share songbooks Use songs that require group movement

Choosing Appropriate Music Begin with light-hearted, folk type songs Slowly transition to familiar songs about God Transition to songs about Jesus and Forgiveness when appropriate

Choosing Appropriate Music Speaker may request a song for the talk do the song if possible and it fits. The request should be done prior to the Start of the weekend.
