WorshipTeam WebCast Update Available on Demand

Friends,

The webcast that we did on August 31 is now archived on the web for you to view anytime. We will keep it online for the next 30 days for those who missed the webcast. You can view it here:

For those tuned in live for the event, Kim apologizes for the delay in beginning the webcast. We had some non-technical issues that had me unable to begin at the originally scheduled time. Since we know that some people were logging in for that specific time, we have placed the web cast on archive for those who were on a tight schedule and couldn’t wait to view the session. Again, you can now view it at:

New Music online from Vicky Beeching, Deluge and Jonathan Stockstill

Vicky Beeching is one of just a few prominent women worship leaders in the modern worship genre. Her latest CD “Eternity Invades” just came out and includes a wonderful collection of well written songs.

At the same time, Jonathan Stockstill and his band “Deluge” have released their latest project “Unshakable”, which includes some fresh songs with exciting arrangements for modern worship churches.

Both these releases have come from the worship publisher/label Integrity Music, which has been actively resourcing the church with great music for years. “Eternity Invades” and “Unshakable” have just been added to WorshipTeam.com. The songs are full featured with complete album lyrics, chord charts and full length audio. Check out these great new songs, hear them in the original key, or choose your own key and play it the way you like it.

Like every songwriter, worship leader and artist whose songs are in Worshipteam.com, not only are these worship leaders/writers licensing the use of their songs into the local churches music teams by doing this- but at Worshipteam.com we are committed to supporting them by sending all the appropriate royalties back to them. Nearly 50% of all the fees collected at Worshipteam.com flow back to the people who own and create the songs that are included in Worshipteam.com!

WorshipTeam.com Welcomes Rita Springer

Rita Springer has been a voice passion and a trail-blazer for the modern worship/artist songwriters for nearly 20 years. Her profoundly honest lyrics, infectious melodies and amazing voice have hallmarked hundreds of events, dozens of recordings and spread the gospel of the Kingdom from Africa to America (in ways both musical and practical).

Rita has been a precious friend and mentor to many leaders, and I have been thankful to have had the opportunity to get to know her and call her a friend.

We recently had the opportunity to visit with Rita, and she graciously encouraged us to add all of her albums, songs and charts to Worshipteam.com. This means that all of Rita’s songs are being added to the song database at WorshipTeam.com, so that churches everywhere can use her songs instantly as they plan their services.

Immediately, we have added several of her CD releases, including “Effortless”, “I Have To Believe”, “All I Have”, and “Created to Worship”. The entire library of songs from those albums are now online at WorshipTeam.com. Songs are full featured with complete album lyrics, chord charts and full length audio.

Check out these great new songs, hear them in the original key, or choose your own key and play it the way you like it.

Like every songwriter, worship leader and artist whose songs are in Worshipteam.com, not only are the they licensing the use of their songs into the local churches music teams by doing this- but at Worshipteam.com we are committed to supporting them by sending all the appropriate royalties back to them. Nearly 50% of all the fees collected at Worshipteam.com flow back to the people who own and create the songs that are included in Worshipteam.com!

So support Rita, and come try out some of her amazing songs in Worshipteam.com!

New Visual “Away Time” Feature

Many of our churches love the away time feature, which lets users indicate future dates when they will not be available for scheduling. Now you can also view the away time of your group by seeing it graphically on your calendar. Here is how:

First, go to your calendar and notice the small checkbox at the bottom called “Show Away Time”:

Now, select the checkbox and you will see the away time appear as colored bars across the effected days as below.

You can see which people are specifically away in any specific day of the colored bars by simply mousing-over the day you are interested in.

We think this feature greatly enhances the ease-of-use for those who are planning events and scheduling on the calendar. Let us know what you think.
