Dear Worship Beat Subscriber:

Welcome to the 100+ new subscribers to Worship Beat since our last issue!  We hope you find this a valuable resource.  Those of you who are original subscribers may have been wondering what happened when you didn't hear from us for a while.  Well, conference season and vacation is over and so this month you're going to get TWO Worship Beats to make up for it.  In fact the second one is coming next week, and this issue is an abbreviated one in preparation for next week.  Read below and you'll see what I mean!  (Send your "postions offered" and "positions needed" information soon).  Thanks for your continued feedback.  You can reach me at mike.zehnder@worshipconsultation.com

Are you part of a Church that is looking for a Worship Leader or Contemporary Musician?
 
Are you a Worship Leader or Contemporary Musician who is looking for a Church?
 
Beginning with this issue of Worship Beat, we are introducing a new feature.  In fact, to be sure you can't miss it, we are making it the sole topic of this special issue.  Next week you will receive your regular Worship Beat columns on "songs of substance," etc.

Here's how it works.  If you are a Job Seeker, simply state in 50-75 words something about your education, experience, abilities and what you are seeking to do.  If you represent a Church and have a position to offer describe the position you are looking to fill, whether it is full or part-time, involves other duties, location, etc., also in 50-75 words.

Job Seekers have the option of advertising anonymously or including their contact information.  Same for churches, if desired.  Normally, you'll probably want to simply include all your  contact information and I'll stay out of the middle.  But if needed, I'll be happy to make introductions.

 
Below are a few first ads from folks who have been in contact with me about positions wanted.  These are real on the "Positions Offered" side, I've made up a church "position offered" ad just so you can have one example.
 
For all ads on either side, simply send your 50-75 word ad to: mike.zehnder@worshipconsultation.com.  The deadline for our next issue is noon, MST on Wednesday, August 27.
 
In the fellowship of Jesus Christ,
