This Sunday is July 5.  As Worship Leaders, we often struggle with how to manage this holiday in our corporate worship services.

Do you sing a patriotic song?  What’s the balance between recognizing the birthday of our nation’s independence, yet at the same time, maximizing the limited amount of time we have in our corporate gatherings to sing praises to Christ?

How about you?
Do you sing patriotic songs in church – especially on the weekend around July 4?
Why or Why Not?
If you do, how do they fit into the flow of your service?  Which songs do you use?

Let the discussion begin.

Hey Ya’ll,

OK, so I readily admit that lack of quality content on worship, worship leading, leadership, church ministry, and music has been the norm here lately.  I truly want to amend that, but for now .. I’m swamped with several things.  I haven’t really been doing much blogging, and my GoogleReader shows nearly 400+ unread blogs that I probably won’t get to.

But, I was just starting to scan the most recent ones, and this caught my eye … so while you’re waiting for me to reveal my awesomeness in blogging and writing (hahaha) … checkout Jordan’s great post called “Why I Hate Patriotic Songs (in worship)” over @ WorshipTrench.

Speaking of Patriotism .. Happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends, eh?

I’ll be back soon … be sure and comment on Jordan’s post, and let him know I sent ya over there!
