• Preferences are divisive…excellence is uniting
  
• Keep introducing new music also

• Maybe have a choir, I would join
  
• After church during fellowship time it would be great to have the children and youth not play or rough house
  
• Would like to continue to see worship expand
  
• Longer worship times not so regimented 1 song break 2 songs offertory, etc…
  
• Keep listening and challenging us
  
• Praise team a little lower volume
  
• Mix up when announcements and singing are done
  
• A few more songs would be great

  Age 40-49
  
  
• Tempo is a little slow at times
  
• Preach more on salvation
  
• Sometimes it's nice to have silent prayer during instrumental music paying and not someone up front telling us how to pray, how to be grateful, etc…No big deal but sometimes it's hard to seek out God with everyone else's words. Lets seek God's works
  
• Keep it like it is
  
• Blake is awesome, praise God
  
• Continue on
  
• Upbeat music not being played too slow
  
• Quality is good but don't worry about looking good, ladies please stay modest
  
• I'd like the worship band to make sure they are dressed modestly and that they are humble and avoid musical mentality (ha ha)
  
• Strive for not time limit…Spirit led
  
• None, I think it's great. Everybody has the opportunity to be a part of the worship team
  
• A hymnal once in a while
  
• Worship is not just music and not just here on Sunday morning, teach a lifestyle of worship
  
• Use people in our church body, not outsiders this is an area of leadership. Special occasions is one thing but regular should be of this church.
  
• Keep encouraging Blake
  
• Can we dance?
  
• Continue to let Blake lead. I hope no one tells him what to play or how to play. Let him work with pastor and listen to God and we will follow
  
• More traditional
  
• Please keep volume a little lower so not to be too overwhelming, I like to hear people sing

• Song to have meaning to lyrics
  
• Music is too loud

• Much contemporary has great words but we sing too slowly. I notice many around me are not singing. We also tend to drag hymns when we do sing them

• Twice every Sunday

  Age 60-69
  
  
• When the piano is not used, take off black cloth (looks like a funeral)
  
• Love to see children learn some of the old hymns
  
• More piano helps up carry the tune
  
• More toward blending hymns to chorus
  
• Use our gifted people, we do not need a paid position
  
• Matching song selection with the sermon.
  
• Be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit
  
• Hire a worship pastor
  
• Solos and duets would be nice in voice and instruments
  
• Move forward, this is not a funeral home, I hope. Don't worry about the complainers
  
• The lyrics are important to me, I prefer ones that are about Christ and not about me and my feelings
  
• Keep it up, none like it!
