Thank you for being willing to lead your House Church in worshiping this week! The Bible tells us that we enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise (Psalm 100) so worship is an opportunity for us to get to be in God’s Presence together! And His Presence changes everything.
To lead Worship, simply:
Before House Church
- Worship should be about 10-15 min long in total, so choose 1-2 songs that we can worship to. Keep in mind some songs work better in a group setting than others. Also, try to pick atleast one song that you know people will be familiar with (IE – something we sing on Sundays)
- If you’ll be leading worship live, practice ahead of time. If you’ll be using a speaker, send the songs to whoever leads your House Church so they can be ready to pull the songs up on their speaker.
Night of House Church
- Say 1-2 sentences about why we worship in general and why we worship together as a house church. Choosing a Scripture is an easy way to give vision. Just google “scriptures about worship” if nothing comes to mind!
- Remind people to spend the first bit of time focusing on Jesus and then the second bit of time listening to Jesus for someone around them and praying for them as the Holy Spirit leads.
- After giving vision and instructions, pray to transition into worship.
Note: If you’d like to have the group worship in a different way such as praying a Psalm, pausing in silence, or breath prayers, that is a great option, too!
