Hey Crashers,

Welcome to another week of the Rhino. It’s a fun one for sure … all about WORSHIP this week. One of our favorite topics to talk about. We are in the process of rethinking everything (which is fun) - what should rehearsals look like, and what does it mean to engage in worship? Is it a spiritual practice?

So, below, you will find worship tools and resources in the Rapid 5, an audio companion podcast, and a workbook in the journal—we would love your wisdom, insight, and feedback.

Grace and Peace,

Cass & Rich

Question of the week…

The Practice of Worship… Or The Worship of Practice?

At “The Local” church, we meet on Wednesday nights for “Worship Practice.” We were intentional about the name, as we want to develop “the practice of worship” in the heart of our team and our church. So…. I started writing for them, and I decided this week on the Rhino that I would share it with you.

It’s a work in progress… a draft, if you will - so I would love to solicit your help in shaping our community. As worship pastors, creatives, and people who are part of worship teams, we cannot think of a better community to have this conversation with.

Please give us your insights and honest opinion on the below worship practice journal.

Who knows, it may even be a concept you find useful for your own worship practice.

Below is the four-step approach and workbook we are thinking of using with our team. Here goes….
