Back on November 14th, 2011 we hosted a live, online round table discussion on the topic of catering weekend services.

We invited the following worship pastors/leaders to be part of the panel:
Fred McKinnon (Worship Director/Founder of TheWorshipCommunity.com)
Rich Kirkpatrick (Blogger/Worship Pastor)
Chris Vacher (Director of Worship)
Rob Rash (Blogger/Worship & Creative Arts Pastor)
Troy Kennedy (Worship Pastor)
We discussed topics like:
-Doing secular songs during service (is it okay or is it not okay?)
-Convergence worship vs. separating the styles out into different services
-Designing the service for Christians vs non-Christians
-and more
We intentionally invited leaders with different perspectives in order to help church leaders understand others’ perspectives and also learn from our differences.

We are so excited about the All About Worship Retreat coming up next week: May 19-21! As a part of the retreat we are hosting a free Night of Worship open to the public with Pocket Full of Rocks, Brenton Brown, Sarah Reeves, and Dave Fitzgerald (in conjunction with KLOVE, Air-1, and 93.7 The Fountain).
This will also be the big launch event for our new nonprofit ministry, Sounds of Redemption, which will be the parent organization of All About Worship. AAW will just be one of many ministries that Sounds of Redemption provides. To find out more about Sounds of Redemption, visit the website.
The free Night of Worship will be held at Grace Church in Overland Park, KS, but we know there are tons of you in our community who do not live near Kansas City, so we’ve worked it out with all the artists to be able to stream the event live online FOR FREE! You can join us live on this Livestream channel at 7:30pm CST next Friday night (5/20). Please help us spread the word to your friends, family, and social media network!
Putting on the All About Worship Retreat and this free Night of Worship is a pretty significant financial undertaking for us. If you’re able to support what we’re doing financially, that would be much appreciated! You can donate online by going to the “Give Now” page on SoundsofRedemption.com.
Thank you in advance for your prayer and financial support! It will enable us to continue to provide training events and online resources to thousands of worship leaders around the globe.

On Monday, August 16, Ben and Wisdom will be recording a “Roundtable” session for an upcoming podcast episode. This is our second roundtable since our initial “Manly Worship” back in October, 2009. The topic this time around…”Sr. Pastor and Worship Leader Relationship”.
How many of you worship leaders have struggled with your relationship with a “controlling” Sr. Pastor? How many Sr. Pastor’s have struggled with your “free spirited” worship leader? The Sr. Pastor/Worship Pastor relationship is extremely important in leading a local church week in and week out. Join us live on Talkshoe as we discuss how we can work together as a team with some experienced leaders in the local church and worship leading community. Meet our roundtable guests:
Tim Howey. Sr Pastor of Grace Church in Overland Park, KS. Tim and Ben have been working in ministry together for ten years. Visit www.TimHowey.com to learn more about Tim. He will be joining us live from the palatial All About Worship studio. If you’re going to talk about a Sr. Pastor and Worship Leader relationship….why not ask a Sr. Pastor to join us? Tim also facilitated a breakout session at the All About Worship Retreat in 2010.
.
Troy Kennedy. Songwriter/Worship Pastor from Kansas City will be joining us. Troy has taught classes on worship leading ministry in conferences around the nation including the recent National Worship Leader Conference 2009 & 2010 and also at the All About Worship Retreat 2010.
