What the visitor observes from the pulpit will determine how they worship. If you have a worship leader that is not afraid to worship they should be up front. If you don't then you had better be the one leading the service. That is what they will follow.

God Bless

I DO AGREE BUT THE SAINTS ARE NOT WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS IMPRATIVE THAT THEY WORSHIP NOT ONLY TO INVITE THE LORD INTO THE THE SERVICE BUT SO THE SINNER OR THOSE WITHOUT GOD CAN SEE AND FEEL THE POWER OF GOD. I THINK THIS CAN BE ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR SOMEONE THAT KNOWS MAYBE WHAT A CHILD OF GOD MAY BE GOING THROUGH.

I agree with this, but , in a home mission situation, the saints are not yet cultivated and need someone to follow.
Please continue to pray for the Newburgh Church. We are changing the midweek service from Wed to Thur. It seems if you just change one hour everybody gets so confused and disoriented. lol

I used to be a new saint and it can be disconcerting. Have a great day and God Bless you

Yes it does do away with songbooks they prohibit people from worshiping

I also believe that the way we worship affects the service. Ardent, heartfelt worship is energising. It can really lift us out of the dumps and allow the Spirit to flow freely throughout the congregation. If you, your brother or sister are on fire for the Lord and worshipping fervently in the Spirit it is contagious and can pave the way for a truly Spirit filled service.

BROTHER ANDREW THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS POST. WE ARE A NEW CHURCH AND WHILE WE DON'T WORSHIPP LIKE SOME CHURCHES SUCH AS YOURS OUR LEVEL OF WORSHIP IF YOU WILL CONTINUES TO RISE AS FOR TEACHING AND PREACHING ABOUT WORSHIP I DO THAT QUITE OFTEN EVEN DURING THE SERVICE WORSHIP TIME AS IN SONG AND PRAISE. WORSHIP AND PRAISE IS SUCH A BIG AND IMPORTANT PART OF WHO WE AS APOSTOLICS ARE WE CANNOT ALLOW IT TO DIE. KEEP PRAISING HIM HE IS WORTHY. GOD BLESS.
