Happy Easter!
Below is a note for all of the incredible Worship Leaders at Saddleback and the OOW (order of worship) for the Worship Center
Dear Saddleback Worship Leaders,
Thank you in advance for your personal contribution to the ministry at Saddleback, this Easter. Including the San Clemente campus, this year we are offering 14 service times and a total of 36 services including: Crave, Elevation, Ohana, Overdrive, Praise, El Encuentro, Traditions, Terrace Café, San Clemente and Worship Center. Only God could pull all of this off and it is humbling to think that he has chosen us to work with him! I would rather serve with you than any other team in the world. More than 2000 people became Christians at our Easter services last year!!!
Speaking of our team, we have made a few changes in the organizational structure which most of you know about by now. The Creative Arts Team is now part of a much larger team called The Community to Crowd team. The leader of this team is Pastor Kerry Mackey. Pastor Kerry is a great guy and a perfect fit for leading this team as he has a wide background in leadership and management as well as a deep passion for worship and evangelism. You will get the opportunity to meet Kerry next week as He will be around at all of the Easter services. Tony Guerrero is our new Director of Creative Arts. No stranger to Saddleback, Tony is a very gifted musician and an extremely gifted leader and teacher. He is well known for his servant heart, his laughter and how he brings the best out of others. I may well be remembered best around Saddleback as the Pastor who hired Tony.
My new title is Pastor of Worship Leaders. I think it is a good fit. I will be working under Kerry and with Tony on the Community to Crowd team, serving worship leaders in all of Saddleback’s venues. I will continue to lead rehearsals and worship at Saddleback and at our conferences, develop worship resources for other churches and serve on Saddleback’s Pastors Management Team with Pastor Rick. One of my greatest joys and honors, in life, is being one of your Pastors. I have just started a blog for worship leaders at http://askricklog.typepad.com which I plan to update every Monday. The blog will feature worship resources and insider information for our teams.
Please join me in praying for those that will be attending the Easter services, for all the teams involved in leading and supporting and for God’s spirit to have His way.
It is a lot of work but it is definitely worth it.
“With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don't hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort.”
