This made me laugh…

…until I wondered if that’s how I sound to some of the church leaders that don’t understand what I do and the importance of great design and creativity in the church.

Thanks for the link Tony.

Worship teams in crisis : bailout needed

From Russ Hutto comes this plea for help…below are some snippets, I think we need to get onboard (and go read the full post):

…Which is why local worship leader and self-described singer/songwriter, Smitty Q. Motlin, has worked tirelessy to get legislation passed for what he calls a necessary Worship Team Bail Out. After attending a huge leadership conference he noticed a huge difference between the “look” of the conference band and the band at his home church.

“I try to lead by example, I use a lot of hair product and wear vintage tees, but sometimes I feel like my team doesn’t get how important it is to look good when leading worship,” he says from the lobby area of his church building.

“I mean who doesn’t want to look cool? My team just can’t afford it. Which is why I’m working night and day to get legislation passed for a bail out for worship teams all across America that are being hit hardest by this crisis,” he continues.

When asked what he would like to see if this bail out were passed Motlin responded, “I believe God’s heart would be blessed if worship teams all across America were able to buy cool clothes.”

Thanks Russ…I know I needed that laugh.
