Vineyard East Worship

I just returned from the National meeting of the worship task force in Houston, TX

Vineyard Music is re-branding to Vineyard Worship. This is to better reflect the reason for Vineyard Worship’s existence. Vineyard Worship is a non-profit entity unlike other Christian Music companies.

Those who were at Ridgecrest may remember Casey walking us through the vision for the new Vineyard Worship.

I would be happy to answer questions that you may have to the best of my knowledge.

FYI the web site does have a place to submit songs http://www.vineyardmusic.com/vm/content/vineyard-songs
The link is monitored and you will get a response when you send in a song.

Read interview with veteran worship leader John Barnett on IndigenousWorship.com >

Carol Wimber talks about how the Vineyard stumbled upon the expression of worship.

If this video piques your interest, Carol wrote a memoir telling John’s story (dovetailing into the start of the Vineyard movement), called John Wimber: The Way It Was. Unfortunately, VineyardResources.com says it’s out of print, but you can still get it here on Amazon.com. We highly recommend it!

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has used stuff from the 2010 Eastern Crop CD at their church for worship?

Great time at the regional conference at Split Rock Resort. I thought the worship was powerful and glorious. I’m hoping that in two years more of you can come and enjoy what we just experienced.

Why We Sing

I have been blessed in my life by growing up in a home that placed a high value on music. It is so much a part of my life that during an assessment for ministry, when I was asked to describe what I did when my mind was in neutral, without thinking I responded with, “I Sing, tap a rhythm, a bass line, a piano part, or work on a harmony.” Taking that love for music into the church gives me the chance to do what I love with a group of people who are focused on the face of Jesus.

The question then becomes how to help the average person that sits in the congregation become a participant and not a spectator. One of the things that struck me when I first discovered the Vineyard was the high value on participation. John Wimber called it “Everybody gets to play.” That value permeates everything we do from praying for the sick, serving in the food pantry to singing the worship songs in the weekend services and the small groups.

Three values of our expression of worship in song are simplicity, intimacy and accessibility. As a worship leader I want to bring the people to that place of communion with the living God, to focus on Him in wonder and awe, and to bow before Him in surrender. We do this through songs and the songs that we pick to sing on any given weekend.
