song leaders are teachers!

Hey Helena!
I've often considered myself a teacher as a worship leader / lead worshiper, although not for the reasons you mentioned above. Your post gave me much food for thought. . . and I have to agree, we do influence people's songs for the week much more than we realize!
The area that I've felt I was a teacher was just in the "act" (for lack of a better word) of worship. . .teaching people that it's okay to step outside of denominational boxes, or the "way" we were taught to worship, or still, how others expect us to worship. Releasing them and giving them the freedom and permission to experiment with worship forms outside of their comfort zones. . . .if that makes any sense.
I'd never really considered myself in that way, until a woman thanked me for teaching her how to worship. That was an extremely humbling moment. :-)
My 2 cents worth. . . .(canadian of course) ;-)
Blessings!
Moe.

Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
