It is not easy being "new kid in town." I suggest that you talk to your minister of music and express to him/her how you feel. Since your praise team doesn't rehearse often, you could set up a private rehearsal with the minister of music. During this time he or she can go over some of the more frequently sung songs. I also suggest you get a list of the songs your praise team sings and practice them on your own. Between Imeem, Napster and Rhapsody, you should be able to listen to plenty of songs for free. I will keep you in my prayers. @EJ...Thank you. I appreciate it! @msnononsense…I can completely understand your discomfort.

I moved my church membership and joined a new church. I expressed a desire to be a part of the praise team because that was my ministry at my old church. Well, it was expressed to me that as rehearsals are scheduled I would be able to participate, then sing with the praise team. Well, my opportunity to sing has been few because the team rarely rehearses and knows all of the songs and sings them in repetition quite frequently. Sometimes I feel as though I should not have expressed an interest until I had been a member for a little while longer. A couple of praise team members asked me why don't I sing more! I explain that I don't feel comfortable getting up if I don't know what we're going to sing. I feel like I joined without fully counting the costs, but then the minister of music doesn't seemed to be bothered by the fact that I don't sing. I just feel it looks odd. I don't want to stop singing, yet I don't want to half do what I'm called to do (did that make sense?) :^) What do you all think? Please give me some advice.
