Worship Music

It is Lent and we have been having some new to us music. We have also been using the piano for the Wednesday Lenten services. The change is nice. I am not a change just to have change but let's face it, it is hard not to go into auto-pilot when it is the same old thing every week. Having different instruments and arranged differently does help. There are some things that don't work but that is when intelligent choices are needed. Worship is important and should not be done haphazardly. The big trick is knowing the reasons behind things and when and when not to listen to personnel taste. It is also not about being traditional, contemporary, liturgical or non liturgical. There is a time and place for going in all the above dimensions and yet it transcends all the dimension mentioned. I wish it were a simple easy position but there it is.
