| Timing of service is too long (short) | timing and flow sheet will be used |
| Songs limited to 15 minutes. | |
| End of service by 12:45 | |
| Music groups are too varied in quality | Intentional training and discipling of music groups |
| As of late, not enough music groups. | Benji is working to recruit more groups. |
| Too much commotion from group practice | 10:30-11:30 can not be used as rehearsal time – only sound check. |
| Members of the music group are late | must be on time! |
| Enthusiasm is low | Since music is the first way people are led into worship, the leader must be direct and meaningful |
| Music selection | Needs to be balanced with new and old. |
| Incorporate hymns into second service sometimes. | |
| Ensure songs are not too high or low. | |
| Look for good/popular songs | |
| Involvement of Children | find simple ways to involve the young |
| Special Music | put as offertory instead of separate item |
| Try to utilize for both services | |
| Congregational Logistics | first service: print in bulletin when to sit/stand |
| both services: direct congregation as to what is expected/appropriate | |
| Be intentional and clear | |
| Children’s story | singing the song is well liked. |
| Powerpoint: | prepare in advance of sabbath |
| check that it is legible | |
