Fixing Problems In The Set List

I found this list of seven potential problems with your worship set list over at the Worship Team Coach blog.

I found them useful and hopefully you will too.

The list goes:

Arrangements and Getting Songs Together

I love Bob Kauflin. He wrote the book, which is also a blog called Worship Matters. I love Bob’s heart for Jesus, the gospel, and worship. I love the wisdom he shares on how to lead worship well.
