LAST MINUTE NOTIFICATIONS & MIA

Note to Worship leaders (Team A, L and C).

Lately I have been seeing last minute notification by members who can't make it. Some sms just before practice or service starts. Some by email a few hours before the practice. Please note that you have to put this into your report and remind your guys that this WILL affect the team. This should not be and it IS detrimental to your teams.

Last minute notification makes it impossible to find replacement. ASK them what the emergency IS. Make them accountable. Exams/Picking a friend from the airport, are examples whereby dates and schedules are KNOWN well in advance. I find excuses like these NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Please be reminded also that the Worship Leader has the right to step down members who have a negative contribution. Taken from PCCCM Mini Guide Book last page

"4.4 WL has a right to ask members to step down for that sunday if they are deemed counter productive to the worship service or to the team. Examples: No show or late during practice or soundcheck, whether informed or otherwise. "

Members who do not turn up for practice/soundcheck but come for performances are a liability to the team in terms of the performance/ministry of the moment. This includes soundmen who are missing during soundcheck but are manning the mixer on service day. They may be good guys but they are counter productive to the singing parts, music lines, distracting sound and dstracting flashes of lights!

While I realize that no one is getting paid, but it boils down to what service do we want to give our God. Poor, Mediocre, Convenient service? No! Let's strive for the best, excellent service to the one who has poured out His all on the cross for us!
