Worship

“Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” 

– Psalms 100:2

Worship Committee

This is a group of volunteers that take care of the tasks as listed in the mandate. If you have any questions, want to volunteer, have a song suggestions, or concerns, please email: worship@williamsburgcrc.org

We, as a Committee, discourage seeking out musicians to give them feedback UNLESS it’s positive. Any suggestions, criticism, or negative feedback should be sent to: worship@williamsburgcrc.org (not the musicians) 

Worship Committee Mandate

The worship committee (WC) shall consist of the pastor, a council representative, one of the musicians and two members from the congregation. The musician representative can rotate on a yearly basis. Members from congregation are for a three-year term.

The WC is accountable to council, who approves our work and recommendations. Minutes are to be submitted to council.

The WC should meet at least four times a year, more often as needed.

The tasks of the WC include:

  • Assists council and pastor in the planning of services, especially helping organize special services.
  • Reviews past services and offers suggestions for future services.
  • Seeks to develop a Biblical and Reformed understanding of worship.
  • Evaluates, encourages, introduces new or previously unfamiliar songs, either from the Psalter Hymnal, Lift Up Your Heart or other sources.
  • Responsible for the schedule of musicians, encouraging the development of musical gifts within the congregation, and ensuring musicians get a monetary gift and note of thanks each year.
  • Oversees the recording of services, projection, video, and audio.
  • Oversees the tasks of greeters and ushers, and hospitality providers.
  • Looks after the decorations of the foyer and sanctuary for special services, reflecting the church year.
