Several of the Worship Team members attended the Integrity Live Worship Conference on November 2nd and 3rd. Hundreds of worship leaders and their teams attended; they came from as far as New Guinea to gather at Cuyahoga Valley Church to experience real worship and learn from each other and great worship leaders. The conference was a full two days led by amazingly gifted worship leaders and song writers: Paul Baloche, Brian Doerksen and Kathryn Scott. Paul has written hundreds of songs that have been featured on a variety of albums. He has written many popular songs including "Open the Eyes of my Heart", "Above All", "Offering". Brian's songs include “Come, now is the time to worship”, “Hope of the nations”, “Faithful One”, “Refiner’s Fire”, and “Hallelujah (Your love is amazing)”. Kathryn Scott, all the way from Ireland, shared her popular songs “At The Foot Of The Cross,” “Search Me, Know Me” and the evergreen “Hungry” among others. We we're blessed to be able to sing the songs with their original creators and sing them straight to our Creator!
We were so blessed not only to indulge in a rich time of worship, but also to hear what these folks had to share about the worship experience. Our hope was to better minister to our church by learning and bringing back what we learn.
