Publisher's Synopsis
What happens when you plan a service and the pastor changes it at the last minute? How about musicians who don't practice? What happens if the pastor doesn't give you any direction? How do you pick the right music for a worship service vs. a funeral or a wedding? How do you plan the order of the rehearsal? The service itself? Worship Planning For Worship Leaders: Developing Effective Planning Skills, deals with these very practical issues and more. The second in a series of practical training guides by Dr. Bill Hooper, former Dean of the School of Church Music at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, Worship Planning For Worship Leaders is the result of the author's many years of experience as a pastor, church musician, music leader, and semi-nary professor. Covers: Worship Is About God, Ordering Christian Worship, Role Of The Worship Leader, Steps In planning Worship, Planning For Worship Ensembles, Planning For Congregational Song, Planning For Special Services, Planning For Technology, Thou Shalt Not Steal.
