Yay singing
Our small church doesn't have praise teams or a chorus with dozens of members. But we have something precious.
One of the greatest pleasures in a very small congregation is the music.
I'd been having that conversation with other local pastors recently, about how absolutely vital it is to have a vibrant, lively music program as part of church life. It is a place of fundamental connection, of fellowship, of harmonies both spiritual and literal.
In a little church, that means something different than it might in a giant sprawling megachurch. We don't have four different cycling praise teams, each fronted by an earnest praise leader wearing a fashionably ironic T-shirt and pitching their latest album. We don't have a 200-member chorus, a small orchestra to back them, and a team of paid professional ringers that we bring in now and again.
