Youth Worship

I just got done leading youth worship over at the annex, and I was struck by a couple of things.  First of all, what a great job Vaughn is doing with the youth at Grace.  I think it is so important how he is proceeding with high expectations of theology as he works through spiritual disciplines. This may sound odd, but the three or four songs over in the annex are great worship for me.  I think it’s the opportunity to sit off to the side in the back, leading from an acoustic guitar with not amplification or microphone. It is so healthy for me to lead from the back.  It gets me out of the spotlight, cuts the separation I feel when I’m on a stage and allows me to worship as a part of the community of believers.  I think it’s great that there is a talented group of kids here at Grace that match my volume of singning, so I don’t feel like I’m dragging them along kicking and screaming.  Finally, there’s just a simplicity to the time that I long for.  No complex orders or arrangements.  No need to keep the band together. What an awesome time!
