Jared Anderson (Desperation Band/New Life Worship) recently started producing free piano tutorial videos on youtube. He shows you how to play many of the New Life Worship songs as well as his original songs. Here’s one of the videos – “Counting On God”. For more videos, check out his youtube channel.
It’s a great resource for piano/keyboard players. Check it out!

With the powerful people-scheduling and team management tools built in to WorshipPlanning.com, it’s no wonder many ministries outside of the Worship Team want to use WP. Plus, there are lots fo benefits for your volunteers to be on a single, centralized system where they can view serving details, access team info, and select their serving availability/preferences.
So, we are starting a new webinar called Team Leading. It is about 30 minutes, and we cover the following:

We are excited to introduce our new Customer Support site that is designed with one major objective in mind:
Answering your questions quickly.
So, what’s so new and great about this new support site? I’m so glad you asked. Since it’s all about quick answers, let me dive right in:
We plan on adding much more content to the site over the next few weeks, including more video tutorials. And, we are investigating some great options that will allow even tighter integration with the main WorshipPlanning.com site.
Feel free to check it out at: http://support.worshipplanning.com. We welcome your feedback on the new site! Feel free to post a comment here or submit a request.
What’s that under the Christmas tree? There, way in the back, under all the brown needles. It’s one last gift, looking for a home. In fact, it’s a new iPod Touch 8GB that we’d like to give away to one lucky person. But rather than just randomly draw a person’s name out of a virtual hat, we’d like your Christmas music experience play a factor.
Enter the Christmas Songs 2010 Contest. We’ve analyzed the WorshipPlanning.com data and created a list of the 14 most-performed Christmas songs for this past season. Your job is to order the list from most-performed to least-performed. The person with the most matches to the correct order (from our data) wins the iPod Touch! Oh, and if you tweet about it using our Twitter link, and “Like” the WorshipPlanning.com Facebook page, you can earn a couple of bonus matches to help improve your chances of winning!
Contest ends on January 25th. Good luck!
That’s right! We’ve been busy developing an app for all you Facebook fans out there (I understand there are at least a couple of you). So, let me give you a few bits of information about the app that are important to know.
We hope you enjoy the app. Click the link below to install the app. And feel free to become a fan and post any feedback you have with us!

On October 27th (at 9pm EST), we have a real treat for you. Tommy Walker will be our first guest of a new webinar series we are starting. He will be speaking about a topic that affects nearly everyone, across all vocations: burn out. If you are a worship leader that’s in it for the long haul, you won’t want to miss the principles he has found important to avoiding burn out.
Tommy has led worship for 20 years at Christian Assembly in Los Angeles and has over 100 songs currently being tracked by CCLI. While this is very impressive, he says his greatest achievement is “to be found being faithful to His God, his family and his local church.” I suspect we’ll learn that having our priorities right plays no small role in using God’s gifts to their full potential.
It really is an honor to have Tommy as our guess. Please join us! There is no cost to you. In fact, all attendees will have the opportunity to download one of Tommy’s songs for free at the end of the webinar, as a thank you for being a part of this special event.
