Behind-the-scenes impact

CAROL WYLIE

I've been serving on the Worship Team since I joined LC3 in 2015, and it has been one of the greatest blessings of my church experience. Have you ever wondered how the song lyrics appear on the screens at just the right moment, or how the stage lights seem to change seamlessly throughout the service? Much of that happens because of the Worship Support Team — a group of volunteers serving faithfully behind the scenes to help create an environment where people can focus on worshiping the Lord.

My husband, Eric, serves on the Worship Team as a bass player, usually one weekend each month. Being part of the Worship Support Team gives us a unique opportunity to serve together. While he helps lead worship from the stage, I support the service from behind the scenes. It's meaningful to know that we are each using our gifts in different ways to help point people to Christ.

Throughout my life, God has often provided opportunities for me to serve in quieter roles that may not be highly visible but are still important to the life of the church. Whether it's advancing lyrics, operating lighting cues, or helping services run smoothly, I enjoy knowing that my contribution helps create fewer distractions and allows people to focus their hearts and minds on the Lord.

I am grateful for a ministry that fits so well with the way God has wired me. Serving on the Worship Support Team has allowed me to use my gifts, serve alongside my church family, and contribute to something far greater than myself. It's a reminder that every role matters in the body of Christ, and that God can use both visible and behind-the-scenes service to make an eternal impact.
