This task involves a great deal of intentionality on my part to describe how I have been doing certain things and tasks. In this post, I will outline the process I go through to create a rundown for myself and the team to lead a worship session where we are worshipping Jesus through singing and playing of instruments (yes, it&#8217;s time to jam for Jesus!).<\/p>\n<p>The rundown is like a map that tells the instrumentalists, singers, and the band where the set is headed, the sequences within each song and between the songs. It is an effective way of communicating a set of songs to the musicians. The rundown is to a group of musicians what the recipe is to a group of chefs working together. It is not meal itself, but it gives direction to what the group is trying to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>It is not a prescribe way of doing it, it&#8217;s a process that I have developed over the years. It seems to work well for me and others I serve with. My hope is that you will give it a try, tweak it, and make it your own.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re ready, here we go:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Choose your songs (since this is a technical post, I will leave out how I choose songs for another post)\n<ol>\n<li>4 songs max for a 20 to 25 minute session<\/li>\n<li>Use only a maximum of 1 new song as it requires a learning curve and therefore will inevitably take more effort for the worshippers to get into the mode of worshipping.<\/li>\n<li>Figure out the key signature to sing in; choose a key that both men and women are comfortable in.<\/li>\n<li>Write down the tempo you want the songs in<\/li>\n<li>Write down the flow of the songs. The numbers of times to repeat the chorus, what the mood of the song is to be and such.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Put the above info on the rundown sheet. Here use this sample (you&#8217;ll need Excel):\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/charis.calvarylogos.ca\/site\/?attachment_id=58\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-58\">2013.05.19 Worship Rundown<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Print out music for your group (https:\/\/ca.songselect.com\/); Contact me to create an account for you. Song Select has all the chords and lyrics in different key signature. A great tool to use!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This is only one part of leading worship but a crucial part if you want to lead effectively and thereby making the whole process fun and worthwhile for others.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s serve together.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"59\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/charis.calvarylogos.ca\/site\/preparing-to-lead-praise-creating-a-rundown-the-technical-nitty-gritty\/david-signature-small\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/charis.calvarylogos.ca\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/David-Signature-Small.png?fit=125%2C46&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"125,46\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"David Signature Small\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/charis.calvarylogos.ca\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/David-Signature-Small.png?fit=125%2C46&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59\" alt=\"Dave\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/charis.calvarylogos.ca\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/David-Signature-Small.png?resize=125%2C46\" width=\"125\" height=\"46\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friends, brothers and sisters, Being your pastor, I see enabling and equipping you for ministry as one of my top top priorities.
