Welcome, Moe!! :crooner:
Glad to see you here, too. The emphasis on this board is a bit different than on the Worship Discussion List (WDL), but still focused on the "stuff" of worship. We have some folks here who are interested in doing things to music other than singing!
One of my personal hopes for this forum is to help encourage what we sometimes call "the greater worship team." For us, the term "worship team" has too often been the designator for the music worship team. And the term "worship leader" has been applied almost exclusively to what might more accurately be called the chief musician. For us, the role of leadership is apt to move about, and some of the team leaders should be finding themselves in a supportive role while worship is lead from a different part of the room! I've taught classes at symposia about the different worship languages and how to understand them. When movers and muzos work together and watch where the anointing rests, they can often discern who is really leading worship at the moment. That's important to us! If a dancer or a banner mover or a flagger is the visual driver of the worship, that's what should be a temporary focus, with the music following him or her and supporting the anointing. For the muzo to demand control and force an abrupt end to what Father is anointing or to continue a song long past the anointed moment are both less than desirable results, IMHO. :lecture:
Your questions about prophetic worship on the other list will find resonance here that you may not have found with the other group. There are a couple of voices here that are or were on the WDL, so you may get expanded answers from them as well. I'll try to open a thread this afternoon and see what we can stir up.
