We need to hear each other sing so much! I'm a worship leader at my small church, and most churches of my size are relying heavily on band tracks to fill in what they're "missing" in the band. But I'm so opposed to using them during congregational worship because adding a completely artificial / recorded element means everyone's vocals drop dramatically. My congregation knows we're all in it together, and they do sing like it!
This is a great article. While there is a place for large and loud worship bands, backing tracks and such. Let’s not forget the importance of congregational worship. I believe too many times a production is being prioritized over a simple and sweet unified worship experience.
This is so good! My husband and I have been talking about this a lot lately. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and wisdom! I can't wait to share this with Shawn!
