-->Worship Leaders
This is a shout out to “Worship Leaders”. Just a sincere thanks from a Pastors perspective. You help us have greater impact and you give opportunity for people to draw close to God. And what’s so great about this is, that you do this week in and week out. Like pastors, lawyers and others, I know you’re disrespected at times. I’ve heard the old “devil landed in the choir loft” comment too many times to count. I know people without a clue ask “what do you do all week’? I appreciate the time you’ve sacrificed and the talent you bring to the experience. I’m aware that it took years to develop your skills and your heart is still in development. It’s not just a song I applaud. It’s the life, the devotion, the authenticity, and the support of the pastor and church. Sometimes when I’ve crashed and burned in preaching, it’s refreshing to hear someone say, “The music was awesome today”. And after you’ve heard my sermon for the third time each weekend, I’m amazed that you still laugh at the jokes or listen to each point as if it’s the first time you’ve heard it. Many times I’m tempted to point you out and say, “and on bass here we have….and on keyboard is….” because you bring it so well, so often. Thank you. I might not enter His gates with thanksgiving or His courts with praise without your reminder each week. For any worship leader or team member reading this who hasn’t felt understood or appreciated, let me speak for one pastor. We need you. We want you. You are a very important part of the team. Here’s a life lesson I learned long ago, “The people, circumstances, or things that draw us closer to God are our friends”.

Well said pastor! I have always thought that worship leaders to be the ones to settle the crowd in, help our hearts and minds focus on God through song, and prepare us to hear a word from God through the Pastor. It is always a Team effort and i certainly appreciate the effort put forth each week by Our Team! Thank you Cascade Hills!
