New Life In Christ

Worship & Arts Report

August 2016
- We returned from a much needed summer
break. We immediately started working on
Christmas repertoire. We also carved out time
throughout the month to do team building
exercises.
- We welcomed 3 new choir members to the
ministry. They were impacted by the music
ministry and connected with me during the
summer.
- Worship leader training reconvened. Now with

2 locations, I have started raising up more

worship leaders. We started in January and
have made great strides.
September 2016
- We successfully launched New Life North. Both
campuses were covered (musicians, singers,
sound, etc)
- Team rotations have been successful. Due to
the limited amount of space at NLN, I am only
able to send smaller teams. However,

everyone is prepared to rotate and those that

have been are doing it well and with joy!
- I was able to take 16 leaders from the Worship
Arts department to Louisville, KY for a Worship
and Leadership conference. Not only was it a
great time of learning, it was a great time or
connecting and fellowship. They all were
challenged in multiple areas of worship,
leadership, technology, communication,
conflict resolution and even church expansion. I
will be compiling their reports soon.
October 2016
- Worship Arts will be ministering during The
Summit each night and on Sunday. We also will
have guest psalmist Todd Dulaney and his
team with us. They will be ministering during
the offering and at the pre-sermonic slot. We
are excited to experience his ministry.
- Worship Arts Consecration begins. Each year in
the month of October, I call a dedicated
consecration in the WA department. We begin
on Monday, October 3rd and conclude on
Thursday October 27th. They each have a
detailed guide to follow each day. The
consecration includes a prayer focus for that
day with scripture and song. They are also
instructed to do liquids only until 12:00 p.m.

and journal each day. We will break or finish

the consecration with a pizza fellowship at
PEEL on the 27th.
November/December 2016
We will be in HEAVY rehearsal mode as we
prepare for our Christmas concert on
December 9th. This year we will be featuring
gospel legend, Tramaine Hawkins. We will also
have a few dance elements and a 11-piece
orchestra. This will be a formal style concert.
Weve done other styles in the past. Now, we
will formal and feature other styles of music.
From spirituals to sacred and of course gospel
along with Tramaines music.
