I got this email from Highway Video yesterday. I hope it blesses you, too.
For Worship Teams…
Many of us work to the point of exhaustion to prepare for Easter. We know it is a time when God calls many people to our doorstep that we may not see any other time. Sometimes we work so hard that we forget: the work has already been done! Christ has already conquered death! All that’s left for us to do is celebrate it… and enjoy the journey.
So as you are working on getting those chords right, remember to laugh.
As you prepare the service, don’t forget to serve each other.
As you celebrate Christ’s love, make sure you also celebrate your love for each other.
Father, as we lead people before your throne this week,
help us to not lose sight of the forest for the trees.
May we…
love one another
serve one another
and enjoy the fantastic friendships you have granted us in the company of this fellowship of believers.Help us to take people down a path that leads to you.
Guide our steps.
Speak to us
Speak through us.
Indwell our hearts that you may overflow into our worship.
We place our efforts before your throne.
Use them as you will.
And as we work hard to stay on the road, help us to also enjoy the journey.We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ,
Your crucified Son,
Our risen savior.
To him be the honor and glory and praise forever.
Amen.

thanks so much for this Trevor. Although I don’t work in worship, I think this is an encouragement approprite for everyone. Let us also not forget these things as the crowds have left our campus and life gets back to “normal.”
Comment by Susie S March 23, 2008 @ 8:59 pmI enjoy reading your posts and how you reflect the Light.
Susie, you’re so right. While Easter is a unique week in the life of the church, every week brings us opportunities to help people grow in their faith. I hope to keep this type of prayer in front of me each Sunday throughout the year.
(I’m glad you enjoy what I write. Thanks for the encouragement ; )
