Make a Joyful Noise

One of the things I'm really involved with is my church praise team. I don't think a lot of people realize how much time this consumes from each of our lives. The entire praise team meets for rehearsals on Wednesday nights (which can go as long as two hours depending on material and upcoming events) and Sunday mornings (an hour before Sunday school). We minister every Sunday morning, some Sunday evenings, and at several other conferences and such the church hosts. For each event, we have to be at the venue at least 30 minutes and sometimes an hour before service. Occasionally, the instrumentalists get together for extra rehearsals during the week. I know that I appreciate how much work Shawn, our leader, puts into the praise team. We would probably sound as bad as he thinks we do if he wasn't a part of the praise team. So, here's to you Shawn! Thanks!
