Hear From Rick Muchow in answering today's question: How does one have a balance in how they worship on stage when others are really watching?

Hear from Rick Muchow in answering today's question:  We have 3 separate services in our church. I lead the traditional and blended. I use the same people in both but do not have enough time at rehearsal. I hold a choir, orchestra, worship team (trad./blend), and rhythm section (trad./blend) rehearsal within 2 hours. How can I hold separate rehearsals for these in order to have more time and not burn my people out?

Hear from Rick Muchow in answering today's question: I had to remove a band member for moral failure, but have been accused of being judgmental. Some are saying 'we all sin and have fallen short of the glory of God.' Could you clarify what "moral failures" would warrant removal and what steps do you take to restore the individual after the fact?

Hear from Rick Muchow in answering today's question: We are looking at starting a second service. Is there a resource that you would recommend? Do you have suggestions that would help prepare to start this service?

Hear from Rick Muchow in answering today's question:  A young couple in my church asked me to perform their wedding. Part of the Groom’s extended family will be coming from a Muslim country. The couple's desire is that the gospel be shared in the ceremony because it might be the only time that the extended family hears it. Do you have any input as to what wedding songs we could include to make the service evangelistic?

Hear from Rick Muchow in answering today's question: I've served as volunteer minister of music for many years at our church under the same Pastor. One of the main musicians for Sunday morning worship is the Pastor's wife. In recent years, her health has declined. We do not practice for service. I think we should but don't know quite how to address it with the Pastor. He is one of her greatest ‘fans.’ How would you handle this issue?

Hear from Rick Muchow in answering today's question: Our Praise Team is fully stocked at this time. What do I do about other musicians and singers who might be interested? While I want to reach out to new talent that may be in our church, at the same time we have a worshipping, wonderful, dedicated team with all the players and singers we need right now. Our service is growing by leaps and bounds... we are SO blessed. I think I am afraid of looking closed minded and closed hearted toward others who might be interested in joining. And if you tell me to start a Praise Choir I'm going to run away-- that really frightens me! But then again, it may be time to "build a bench"--or should I leave well enough alone?
