Keys to Worship Planning: Be Grateful for Feedback

“Over the years, I have learned to be extremely grateful for feedback. If I’m doing something wrong, I want to know it. The fact is, if one of my staff notices something out of whack in the service, then several people in the congregation probably notice it too. The same is true for you. Rather than repeating the same mistake next week, be grateful that someone speaks up and gives you the opportunity to fix whatever is wrong. Well-received feedback leads to improvement, so why wouldn’t you be grateful for it?“

– Nelson Searcy and Jason Hatley
