Worship Ministry in the Summer...

By Jon Nicol

Summer's half over.

OK, those 21 days in September are still technically in the same season. But for many of us, especially here in the States, our summer ends with Labor Day weekend.

Sorry for the downer.

I would guess the rhythms of life in summer affect your church as much as they do mine. So rather than me blather on about my bass players all being gone the same week or having to pick up a few preaching spots while my senior pastor goes on vacation, I want to hear from YOU.

Use the comment section as your own blog post and tell us few things about your worship ministry in the summer. Here's a suggested outline, but feel free to riff with your own.

• Quick summary - Where are you located and how does your summer change
• What are the challenges of worship ministry in summer for you
• What are some creative ways that you've embraced those challenges and culture changes
• What are you doing to refresh/revive yourself this summer?

I'm looking forward to learning from you (i.e. stealing ideas). But remember, for this blog post to be any good to anyone, you'll need to participate.

So...tell me about summer worship ministry in your church.
