Your style…. Take notes about what people seem to connect witThe charts will likely move faster than your congregation.TWO MAIN REASONS FOR THE BIG 50 - This is important for your church and for your team First, your church will learn to sing and connect with God through the BIG 50 songs. When they hear them on the radio or at home, they will be reminded and drawn to a worship experience. Second, your band will become GOOD, REALLY GOOD, at the songs they know and love….. too many new songs and the band will struggle and suffer.
