Preparation and Planning

“God’s grace is found in the crafting of scripture, song, word, and symbol into beautiful and meaningful moments of worship. God’s grace is also found in the unexpected and unplanned for. It’s one of the treasures of our role as worship planners and leaders: if we cultivate the prayerful awareness of the Spirit’s work, we get a front row seat to God’s grace in both forms.”
