Notes

  • The band is the accompaniment to the congregation
  • The bullseye for the band is "undistracting excellence"
    • God calls us to give our best
    • Excellence can be distracting if we make ourselves the focus ie. showing off.
    • Mediocre, flat and uninspiring or mistake riddled music is also distracting.
    • We want to be well prepared and utilise our skills so that
      • The music becomes neither the focus or irrelevant and
      • We don't have to concentrate so much on playing/singing and can be more free to engage in worship ourselves.
