Brad,
You struck a chord with me.  I am a member of our praise team here and we
suffer from the Power Point, the keyboard with sequencer and the Spirit so
limited by all that plus the time of the service that God hardly has a
chance to geta word in.
I agree with what you say about the congregation being informed of all that
is going on in the church.  How would we feel if, in our family, our wives,
our children, gbrthers and sisters never shared anything going on in their
lives.  Would we feel liike a part of the family?  I think not. A growing
church is a informed membership and a spirit inviting, spirit filled and
spirit lead church.

preach on, brother!

Ned
