Worship team


For several months now I have been serving as the worship leader at church. I love that because our church is so new, I get to be a part of helping shape and lead our worship. Our little worship team is typically composed of 2-3 vocalists (currently me, Laura and Elizabeth, 2 amazing American women who are teachers), and an awesome guitarist/ musician, Ondra, who is a Czech believer. He is in university here in Prague. But this summer the fabulous interns have been helping out, and they have added so much fun and creativity to our sound and time together.

Each week, based on the upcoming sermon topic, I choose the songs we'll sing :) (so fun) and then lead practice each Wednesday night in preparation for Sunday's service. I have learned a lot more about how God's grace is more than sufficient as He enables me to do this job for which I feel inadequte. Serving the church in this capacity continues to bring me much joy and satisfaction.

Here's a photo of us in our old location (which was a cafe). Pictured from left to right is Ondra, me, Elizabeth (an English teacher), and Luke (an intern and student at William and Mary. He usually plays a mean bass guitar but now he's hammin' it up with the shaker.:) Our services are no longer meeting at the cafe, but we now rent space in a Czech church.
