To the WorshipTraining community,

Many of you who have been with Dan Wilt and I from the beginning will know me as the “behind the scenes guy” for WorshipTraining. Over the past 3 years, I have been involved in our online learning community as site-maintainer, question-answerer, feedback-giver, webinar-moderator, and all-that-other-stuff-that-we-don’t-see-doer.

I wanted to let you know that, after much consideration, I’ve decided to take a new job in my local community (St Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada) that begins June 1st. This means that I’ll be handing over the baton to the great team here at WorshipTraining/Praisecharts.

I’m excited to see what happens next with WorshipTraining. Lots of great, new content is being added all of the time and our community is growing quickly. I think that some of the new, practical resources (like Dan Wilt’s new Whiteboard Worship Training series) will become invaluable to worship leaders and pastors everywhere. Stay tuned as the site continues to grow.

Our 2011 Spring Online Retreat is upon us, and you are invited. This online event is absolutely FREE, and is designed for you and your team to grow in many different areas. We provide this as a service to worship leaders and teams around the world. We want NO CHURCH LEFT BEHIND in bringing great training and encouragement right to their doorstep.

Here are the details:

Gather your entire worship team(s)/ministry for a night of powerful live training via webinar this Friday, May 20. Your team plays a vital role in the worship life of your church.

Dan Wilt (Whiteboard Worship Training) will present on topics like

• “How Your Worship Team Moves Your Congregation Forward in Worship,”
• “How To Work Together Musically As A Band,” and
• “How To Recover Your Own Passion For Worship.”

Just like a live gathering, only ‘on screen,’ Dan will lead us in team discussions that will impact every musician, tech and worship leader in your church.

• The retreat will include:
• Practical skills for building worship team relationships
• Ideas for enhancing musicality
• Small group sessions
• And more!

A recording of the Retreat will be emailed out to everyone who registers afterwards (regardless of whether you were able to join in live or not).

Attendance of this event is FREE for everyone. Members will ALSO receive Spring Retreat Notes, a Study Packet and a Leader’s Guide via PDF.

Register for the Retreat here.

Out of almost 3000 training resources on WorshipTraining.com, a few get downloaded more than any others. Here is a list of the top 3 downloads to date.

1) Worship Readings For Lent, Easter & Pentecost
2) How To Bring Your Congregation Forward In Worship
3) How To Lead A Great Worship Band Rehearsal

At WorshipTraining, we are always in a mode of getting better and better at what we do.

Why? It seems to be a call of the Christian life to keep applying God’s greatness to our own unique “greatness” – or calling in Christ.

For us, the calling we have is to create a site dense with the world’s best worship resources – enabling you to develop into your destiny as a follower of Jesus and a leader of worship.

To help us help you, we are big “feedback-getters.”

The following 1 minute survey will tell us how you want your training media served to you.

Rare? Medium Rare?

No, those aren’t the questions.

You’ll see when you click here what we mean. Again, 1 minute would serve us greatly – and will help us serve you with our very best.

On Wednesday, March 30 at 2pm EST, we tackle one of the most requested topics we get at WorshipTraining.com – “How Do I Bring My CongregationForward In Worship?”

I’m excited to lead this webinar, as it’s been a vital part of my own leadership challenge in local churches over the years. How do we begin from where we are? What is the real goal? How do we handle those who are resistant to our leadership in fresh ways of experiencing worship?

I hope that you can join us for this free webinar, and if your pastor or others are available, such as childrens’ leaders, childrens’ worship leaders, youth leaders and youth worship leaders, etc., they will have much to gain from the session.

We’ll keep it to one hour, and if you register you can either attend live, or just get the mp3 when it’s over. Come with your questions, as we’ll give those some airtime.

Hope to have you on the call.
