Things a Worship Leader Should Never Say

Hey worship leaders, stir us up this Sunday to sing the Lord’s praises. But here are a few things that might not stir us as much as you’d hope . . .

  • Okay, now worship like you really mean it!
  • Don’t worry, these are young rattlesnakes and they’re not very poisonous.
  • I brought some spears for the men to use in worship this morning.
  • I’ve written some worship lyrics to Purple Haze.
  • Everybody remember the animal noises we went over last week?
  • This next song is in 7/4 time so it might feel a little awkward at first.
  • You’re going to love this folks – worship yodeling!
  • I don’t think that it’s fair that the kids in children’s ministry are the only ones who get to do wiggle worship.
  • Pull out your hankies or grab some Kleenex – we’re going to give the Lord a wave offering!
  • Turn to the person next to you, look deeply into their eyes and sing, “I love you with the love of the Lord!”
  • Alright, it’s conga line time!
  • Perhaps you’ve noticed that everyone on the worship team is dressed like David Bowie.
  • Alright everyone, let’s lift up our cell phones to the Lord!
  • Maybe you’re wondering why there are no instruments on stage except for this huge gong.
  • Push back the chairs everybody, we’re having a dance workshop!
  • In case you need some extra motivation to worship enthusiastically this morning you’ll notice our ushers have been given cattle prods.
  • Why should polka bands have all the good music?
  • I got a fever – for more cowbell!

Any you would add?
