Hey guys!
I put the site on hiatus back in September because of some really demanding projects that were coming up…
Those are still on-going…
Lately, though, I’ve been thinking about WOP and my own desire to make it a really viable resource for artists in the church. I’m not comfortable letting the busy-work crowd that out of my life.
So, I’m back.
Some changes that you will notice:
WOP has always been loosely guided by an informal board of advisers… You might have noticed posts authored by the Admin and the habitual use of plural pronouns (we, us, our)…
At this point, I am taking full ownership of the site and the decisions surrounding it’s direction. This is mainly because no one else really has the vision for it that I do. Single ownership allows me to focus on the purpose that has driven the site since its inception:
Encouraging artists to use their gifts in worship and ministry…
Encouraging ministries and churches to activate artists…
I’m not eliminating accountability from my ministry, I continue to volunteer and place myself under the leadership of my local church, I’m simply taking personal responsibility for the content and direction of WOP.
This will probably result in more and better content than in the past.
I’m going to add some new features:
FieldNotes is a live-blogging feature that will seek out guest bloggers to comment of concerts, churches, conferences and seminars.
LeadershipIssues will focus on the special needs of church leaders relating to the often unique and challenging experience of working with artists and creative types.
So, if you’re a new Facebook fan or Twitter follower: Welcome!
And if you’ve been around before: Welcome back!
I think we’re going to have a great time together.
