Our Worship Team at New Life, Hull, England

The New Life Worship Team has had the opportunity to visit and minister in churches within the USA and were involved in a live recording at Revelation TV in London. More recently they were the invited guests at a Worship Concert, hosted by Pastor Jarrod Cooper, singer/song writer, in the New Life Church in Hull, England.

God has blessed us with excellent singers and musicians and under the direction of our Canadian Worship Leader, Anna Waldie, the team has been extended to include some excellent singers and musicians from among our wonderful Philippino members. Members of the Team, including Anna, have written some amazing worship songs and has recently produced its first recording of 4 of their songs, with plans for a full CD to be released in 2012.

We fully understand and teach that worship is much more than the singing of a few songs, whether traditional hymns or contemporary Christian songs, and is more than the playing of instruments, whether pipe organ or electric keyboard, with or without drums, or whether standing or sitting.

Within the context of church coming together worship is a collective experience by which God is honoured and is given his rightful place among his people. it's where God becomes the focus, and where the music and the songs are stripped of significance.

Within the broader context of life, worship is much more than the weekly collective experience of a Sunday morning service, but true worship is a lifestyle where God is honoured and is given his rightful place in our daily living.

However, a ll that said, the fact is, the collective worship experience within the context of church should be a positive and an exciting experience, which we believe is key to the spiritual development of the worshipper and to the growth of the local church.

Jesus said, "a time is coming and has now come when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth" John 4:23-24.
