Greetings!

  

This is new.  This could be a game changer for you.  It could be your punch-through to the next level.  It could pull you back from the edge.

 

See, Ad Lib Music typically works with churches through Coaching Programs, 90-days of focus, designed to accomplish specific goals in a clearly articulated, strategic plan with accountability and commitment.  Which is great.

 

But...

What if you're just stuck in a project?

What if you're in a "bad loop" and can't get perspective on an issue?

What if you can't even identify what issue is troubling you?

What if you merely want suggestions on how to launch something?

What if you need to ask a question, but you just don't know who to ask?

What if you have something to get off your chest?

What if you simply want some fresh ideas?

What if you need a new set of eyes with an outside perspective?

What if you're just tired of tackling every challenge on your own?

 

Introducing: Coaching Moments! Sometimes you simply need a moment with someone who has walked the road you're walking...who can help bring fresh perspective, key insight, and isolation-eradicating support.  A moment in time with a seasoned coach who will listen well, speak into your situation and life, and give you new energy to tackle your challenge can make all the difference.

 

So here's how we'll launch it.  Be one of the first 5 people to sign up because we're giving away the first 5 FREE! If you miss that deal, you can purchase one for only $150, and then simply tell one of your worship leader friends about it.  Once they've purchased one, you get your second one free!  Sweet, huh?

 

You might want to set up a few of these each year to sustain the health of your ministry.  For this, we're offering $50 off when you sign up for a year of quarterly Moments - that's a year of Coaching Moments for only $550!

 

So let's have a Moment!  Reply to this email or call (717) 468-6428 and we'll set up a time to either meet face to face if you're in Central PA or over Skype if you're...anywhere else in the world!

Listen to what one worship leader said after having a 

Coaching Moment

Pin the tail on the donkey!
 

"I came to my Coaching Moment feeling as though the nitty-gritty of life and leadership had blind-folded me and spun me around, leaving me quite dizzy and a little less certain I was moving in the right direction...it was a real pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey moment!  Dave listened to me ramble, and brought fresh perspective and insight to the issues I've been struggling with. I left our meeting feeling encouraged in the right direction, able to see a little more clearly, and definitely less dizzy!" - Heather

FREE Rhythm Workshop
Free worship training events
 
Join us from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturday, August 6th for a FREE Rhythm Workshop from Lanco Worship Link!  How do small worship teams utilize rhythm instruments? This hands-on workshop will sharpen your Bass Guitar and Drum skills and strengthen your ability to keep rhy-thm and pl-ay to-g-ethe-r. Can a bass guitar be the only rhythm instrument?  Is the Djembe all you have and all you need?  What if we don't have a rhythm instrument?  So what is a drummer's main role...really?.  
 
Find out at Carpenters Community Church [378 Glenbrook Road, Talmage] as George Yellak, Instructor at The Music Workshop, Lancaster Bible College, and Chabod Academy of the Arts shares key principles in a hands-on, low-pressure learning experience!  Click here for details!

And more [of course]
Digital Media in WorshipDigital Media in Worship
 

 

Are you set to launch into another season of programming and are overwhelmed by the daunting task of providing compelling visual support to your worship services week after week?

 

Do you hope that digital media can be our servant rather than a distraction and actually help us into an experience of the presence of God?

 

Are you in a declining traditional church that's lost in the waves of technology?

 

If you think of your screens as hymnal replacements, this workshop is for you.

 

Are you afraid that if you use technology in your traditional service, it'll become "contemporary"?

 

What are the "best practices" for using digital media in worship?

 

Most importantly, do you even know why you're using digital media in worship?

 

What are other churches in this area doing to spread the Gospel through digital media?

 

Where can you find great digital media resources?

 

Will some the "boxes" that we do ministry in, hold up in today's world or will [read: should] they crush under the load?

 

 

  

Join us for a wildly entertaining, viscerally informative, and positively encouraging evening.  [I know, that's quite the setup...this better be great!]  In the first hour, you'll enjoy a learning experience.  In the second hour, you'll be able to ask your questions, brainstorm solutions, and make connections with local leaders who will inspire you on your journey.

 

Join us at the Parish Resource Center, 633 Community Way in Lancaster, PA on August 29th at 7:00 PM.  When you register, enter "Ad Lib Music" in the reference to receive a 43% discount!  Go here to register online.

More details will come soon, but for now, get ready to grow your teams with breakouts on audio, visual, web/social media, and pastoring/leading. And did I mention a concert by a well known Worship Artist. Yep.

Printable Fertilizer!
Listerine! 

I'm pretty sure this is the first time these two words have ever been used together: Printable Fertilizer.

 

It kinda reminds me of the first time I experienced those breath strips. What an invention!  Maybe these will be just as invigorating.

 

So you want to print out a Worship Fertilizer for your team to discuss?  They're now available free on the Ad Lib Music website.  Just click on the title to download a pdf.  Share it with your team, share it with friends from other churches, post it on Facebook, whatever you'd like!

Retreat Time!Retreat 

Give your team the gift of a weekend away together!

 

 Pick a spot, pick a date, we'll do the rest.  Ah, rest.  Yep.  Even you as the leader will get a rest.  We'll lead times of worship, sharing, and teaching. You can pick the topics or we'll suggest one based on your church's needs. We'll even let you lead the fun times...group games and activities.  Choose either a "mini" [Friday 7:00 PM to Saturday 7:00 PM] or the "full" [Friday 7:00 PM to Sunday 2:00 PM]. Of course, times are flexible!  And yes, we can even help find another worship team to lead while you're away.  Simply reply to this email or contact dave@adlibmusic.com.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Mind the Gap 

Do you need a worship leader for a weekend service?

 

Vacations, sabbath months, gaps in the schedule... whatever the reason for your need, we're here to help! We'll take care of everything...leading worship, selecting songs, providing chord charts, rehearsing the band.  We can lead your team, lead solo, or bring our own team in.  You can have a seasoned worship leader model effective worship leading, train your worship team at a rehearsal, and give your congregation [and worship leaders!] a breath of fresh air.  

 

Just reply to this email or contact dave@adlibmusic.com.
