From Marc Brown serving in Woodbridge, VA
QUESTION:When to ask for help?
When do you approach your Pastor/Personnel Committee about pursuing a worship associate? Currently my Pastor teaches and I lead worship in our Saturday worship, three Sunday morning services, as well as other venues which seem to happen weekly. Many weeks I feel like I spend most of the week resting my voice just to lose it again on weekends. I'm constantly trying to train up people in our church to be 'lay worship leaders, but I feel like until my Pastor has another pastor to teach regularly, I must continue as well.
RICK MUCHOW:
First, diagnose the problem, then look for the solution. If you are feeling you could be getting burnt out, bring it to the attention of your pastor and committee. Be sure to examine your presentation. Don’t bring it as a complaint, but so that they will know how you are feeling. Leave the situation to them first.
