On February 10th around 2:00 pm I met once again with Pastor Byron and we reviewed Weeks 3-4 (February 8-21) of my internship: Worship Leading Basics. For the next few weeks, I am to be working towards designing a worship set with liturgy for a Sunday service. This will most likely be the fourth Sunday, which is the day where we go out into the community to do a service project, and will include 3 songs for the setlist. I will also be expected to plan and lead a worship rehearsal and share a devotional with the team during our rehearsal time. Finally, I am also expected to research and present a brief on my favorite worship song, and I will share it at our meeting next week. At this meeting, I will also spend time discussing my current progress and challenges with Pastor Byron.

Review of the last couple of Sundays:

I have been put in charge of pre-mixing and arranging the tracks within PlayBack for MultiTracks to fit with our voices, structure, and specific sound we are aiming for during rehearsals, and cuing the songs in MultiTracks during service. Doing this is new and has been exercising my muscles of multitasking. I cue the tracks, lead songs by singing and playing the piano, and pray, and have messed up many times. My mistakes have taught me how to creatively, smoothly, and quickly resolve my trip ups and issues I come across. I’m learning that it is a process to familiarize myself with these new tools and operate them effectively, and perfection will not always be attainable. I am truly enjoying this environment and opportunity to grow in so many ways through my internship at Identity Church.
