Sundays & Practice
When you are scheduled to be on the team, you will recieve a reminder email on the Monday of the week. The worship leader will send you a plan by email that will include all the lyrics and music for the songs that you will be playing for the Sunday service.
​
We currently have two practices for the team who are on for Sunday:
​
1) SUNDAY PRACTICE - This is our mandatory normal practice that takes place at the church building from 9am Sunday morning. Please come ready with your instrument, having familiarised yourself with the songs and, please inform the worship leader for that week if you are running late. This practice normally lasts about an hour and a half and then we pray together with the other teams serving on that day.
​
1) FIRDAY NIGHT PRACTICE - This is our more ad-hoc practice that takes place at the Stratford church building from 7pm Friday evening. The worship leader for the week themselves will arrange this practice so any queries, reach out to them and please wait for confirmation from the worship leader that this practice is actually taking place as it does not always occur. If it does happen, we would encourage all team members to attend if they can and please prioritise attendence, but it is not mandatory.
​
On Sundays we ALL work with the media team to set up and packdown. This is very important as it can take quite a long time to pack the stage up but it certainly is much faster when we all as a team help out. Please speak to the worship leader if you are not sure what to do, or where something goes.
