Fellowship North Church is a "called to be unique" church in Scottsdale, AZ. We are set back sort of far from the road and have poor signage due to city zoning restrictions. It's a miracle anyone can find us, yet they do. We are in a stage of growing and not just numerically. It's a great season of ministry and I'm blessed to be a part of it!
Today we introduced SHOUT! our un-choir choir. They rocked the house and yes, they really shouted! 10 un-trained voices mixed in with our regular team 18-strong, filling our church with raw, passionate worship! So proud of them-especially the very nervous newbies. Ranged in age from 14-78!! Lots of dancing going on in the front row...:-)
Humorous very cool moment-during Testify To Love the church was so fully present/engaged in worship that halfway thru the song they jumped to their feet and started singing with the soloist with complete abandon. So the "performance" song was not. But it was ever so much more!!
QUESTION: how do you mic your choir or large ensembles? Need help. The rented, aging condenser mics didn't do the job well today. Need to budget for an awesome solution-just wanting feedback from those in the know...thanks!
