What was most helpful to you today?

• Enjoyed the entire day
• Everything
• Vocal Technique & Worship Team Dynamics
• Worship 101 & Worship Team Dynamics
• Worship 101 - helps to reinforce the truths, Worship team run-through and thanks for letting me run sound - that was great experience for me
• Worship 101 - relating the worship to the people rather than at them as a forced experience. (How to make
• Contemporary worship a "want to" experience)
• Reinforcement of things I have talked about in the past. Voice technique very helpful
• Role of the Worship Team (Worship 101)
• Meeting people, witnessing the differences between us and that anything may be accomplished through
• Love
• What possibilities exist in usage of music in our new worship service in the future. Also, how to coordinate the interaction of the worship team dynamics (almost everyone on our team will be new to this)
• We are starting a contemp. Svc. Got me thinking about all the specifics
• Diversity of team players demonstrated. Emphasis on worship members being individually prepared!
• How to do rehearsal
• Watching the whole band work together to see each instrument work. Also the singing lesson was helpful
• I was blessed to yield to the Holy Spirit and learned how to worship in Spirit and in Truth
• I learned how to start a Praise & Worship Team. We are just beginning this ministry at our church
• The practical hands-on approach by Sean - not just lecture.
• How to get a praise group organized
• Instruction for leadership - exaggerate and easy to follow - forget about boxes!
• The history of worship in the Lutheran church; The goal is not hands raised up but lives laid down
• The "How to's" of leading worship

If we were to have a similar workshop in the future, what topics would you like to see addressed?

• Maybe address different types of music
• More Group Work
• This was all great and needs to be repeated for the basis and basics of worship. I felt it was a great seminar
• For churches that do only "158" and are seeing the need to break out, but simply don't know where to
• Begin.
• Vocal arranging - harmonies for praise teams
• Using the organ in contemporary worship so as not to leave the organist out (assuming he wants in)
• Excellent
• More singing and learnig usable songs with less talk. Particularly enjoyed mellow song "Come"
• Some additional song selections of newer, more popular songs
• More stuff for beginners: How to begin, meeting, how many people to organize, advertising to the community. Purpose of contemp. Vs. traditional. Why do you change and why might you choose not to.
• Services of material and actual participation of group.
• Maybe some break-out sessions on each person's instrument to be able to ask specific questions about their own skills.
• What to do with Youth Worship
• Everyone is not electrified yet. Could we do a portion of the worship "Unplugged"?
• No suggestions since we are just at the organization stage
• More about worship - why we raise our hands, etc.

How was the length of the workshop?

• Okay
• Just about right
• Fine
• Yes, although a year would have been better
• Excellent, because each presentation was superbly well-planned and presented
• Fine; Good; Okay; Fine; OK; Good; 3 hours in afternoon is too long without a break
• Somewhat long; Perfect; Good; Good; Great!; OK; Good

Is one full day long enough?

• Friday evening praise, then shorter Saturday
• Yes; Yes; Yes, but I needed an afternoon lemonade break
• Yes; Yes; Yes; Yes; Yes; Yes; Yes; Yes; Yes; Yes; Yes; Yes; Yes
• Maybe not

Would you prefer there to be something on Friday evening in addition to Saturday?

• Yes; Maybe; No;
• All on one day is good, as it suits some peoples schedules. A Friday evening/ all day Sat. workshop is also
• great
• Possibly; No; No. One day all day is fine.; No; No
• Fridays are so hectic - something with a simple introduction but repeated on Saturday for those who were unable to make it.
• No; No; Yes; Worship time on Friday night would be great.
• The one day is good for my group to come. The extra evening would have been good to be able to soak it all in.
