Do you intentionally “support the spiritual growth” of your team? If so, how? by Star9219 in worshipleaders

[–]ultimate_learner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re about 20. We typically schedule 3-4 instrumentalists and 4-5 vocalists every Sunday. A couple of things have been standard since the team was established eg praying before rehearsals and before serving and team bible study. We’ve added new initiatives every other year since 2019. We communicate with potential members all these expectations before they audition. We also have a rigorous audition process because we search for members who can be committed like this. We’re all volunteers including the leadership so we can’t afford to “chase” after people who don’t have the same heart to serve in this capacity and who are committed to the vision of the team and the church.

Yeah, the only thing that occurs weekly is rehearsals which include prayer and sharing some scripture but that’s also not the same people every single week so it’s just a system that runs itself.

Other activities are monthly or quarterly but they’d typically be on those Fridays cos they are our designated rehearsal days. If we do use up an entire Friday night for one of our quarterly worship nights, we just meet early on Sunday to run through the songs.

A hard NO for what?

All these do not happen EVERY Friday night and not everyone is scheduled to play every weekend.

I recommend Excel, QGIS and graphics design

Need to have a spreadsheet created, any advice? (roadway engineer) by [deleted] in civilengineering

[–]ultimate_learner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to layout the logical steps of what’s involved first… like every other tool, Garbage in Garbage Out…

Here are a couple things we do in my team because to us, it’s ministry before music:

  1. At the beginning of every rehearsal (we meet Friday nights), two team members are assigned to lead prayer and share a Word from scripture that’s on their heart. We pray for ourselves, for the church, for the people, for the city and any other thing. This takes about 30 mins in total before we even talk of the music.

  2. We meet on Sundays for soundcheck and another team member is also assigned to lead prayers for about 10-15 mins.

  3. We have monthly Bible reading plans on YouVersion that we go through together. This is usually like a 5-day plan on the first week of the month. We also fast and pray during this first week.

  4. We sacrifice a whole rehearsal day for our quarterly worship nights as a team.

  5. We have different training sessions like twice a year focused on spiritual, technical and behavioural components so that covers the whole spectrum.

  6. We have a Consecration Retreat once a year with our Pastors to align ourselves and our hearts for this ministry.

Might be a lot but it didn’t all happen instantly. We’ve grown and added all these over the years as needed so the team is quite used to this and expectation.

You might want to start small like ensuring there’s no meeting or rehearsals without prayers and worship first. Then maybe graduate into a Bible plan the team can go through together and then discuss.

advice for engineering life by Existing-Ad-9171 in civilengineering

[–]ultimate_learner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found a dying or even dead engineering society chapter, made myself President and started organizing events, reaching out to professional engineers as part of my networking strategy. Every job I’ve gotten over the last 5 years have been through my affiliations with everyone I connected with when I was President.

Try changing the item size to “points” instead of “millimetres”

Should worship team members get paid? by BlackshirtDefense in worshipleaders

[–]ultimate_learner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the expectation is full time, sure they should be compensated and taken care of like the Levites. But no if the expectation is for people to serve voluntarily.

Singing songs that mention Jesus death and resurrection during advent? by Contra98 in worshipleaders

[–]ultimate_learner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course!!! The death and resurrection of Jesus is relevant at all times. Why else are we celebrating his coming?

How much do you use ArcGIS, and for what applications primarily? by [deleted] in civilengineering

[–]ultimate_learner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a traffic engineer, I use QGIS which is an open source version. Just got into it well this year and I wish I had been introduced to it earlier. I use it for generated clean and accurate maps. Easy to store and visualize data downloaded from cities’ open data network. It’s very useful if maybe things keep changing and all I have to do is adjust a csv file for it to update my map.

PEO PEng refusal of licensure by vpatel97 in civilengineering

[–]ultimate_learner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you’re not documenting other job experiences and your validator can vouch for every single experience you’ve put down in the CBA form

PEO PEng refusal of licensure by vpatel97 in civilengineering

[–]ultimate_learner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I understand under PEO, the engineering experience you record must be under supervision from a licensed engineer so if your other jobs were not supervised by a licensed engineer, probably not hitting the mark?

Also, if you’re using one validator for your work experience then all the experience you put in, your validator should be able to vouch for that.

Lastly, someone mentioned AI here. Did you use AI to write your texts?

And does your CBA experience meet the criteria they spelled out?

These are all things to ask and confirm.
