Some good advice here. I might add some hard advice. I recognise the need for a base level of talent in worship groups but should that be a reason for excluding someone with a right heart for worship with an instrument even though they are not very good?
Either way, the calls for studying Scripture and good teamwork are something we can all learn from.

Simply Strategic Growth: Attracting a Crowd to Your Church is comprised of 99 short chapters (2-3 pages) each focused on one simple idea. That means it’s a breeze to read through, is packed with ideas, and is very approachable for the ADD crowd (and with the proliferation of blogs and short content I think we’re all joining that club).

The book covers everything from backend administrative tasks (how to conduct a post-service what worked/what didn’t meeting and who to include) to wrangling volunteers (don’t schedule anything other than worship services and corresponding childcare on Sundays so you maximize your volunteer pool) to rationale for adding multiple services (people are more likely to invite friends when a church is not totally full and once your service has several hundred people there’s no way everybody can know everybody).

The writers of the book, Tim Stevens and Tony Morgan, even have their own podcast. And I was thinking I was running low of things to listen to on the train!

It has a dual screen mode so whoever is operating it can keep on top of what is coming up both in the song and service.

Entering songs took a little getting used to but taking the time to put them in properly makes it easy to jump to particular verses on the fly

Strongly recommended. Watch this space for a full review coming soon.
