Considering Alternatives
As people have become busier and overcommitted, scheduling rehearsals and other music and worship ministry activities is increasingly challenging. With many longer working hours, economic challenges, two career families, children involved in extracurricular activities, long commutes, and the advent of technology and our being always reachable and connected, many people are left with little margin for other activities, and often church commitments may be the first to go. Yet, those in leadership realize both the benefit of music and worship ministry participation for the individual and the contribution that regular participation makes to the faith community. What can we do to encourage participation by those with little time to offer to the church and its ministries?
