I've led worship at our summer camp for a couple years while leading a middle school group, but this year, I have the pleasure of focusing my energy in our morning worship services as Worship Coordinator.
The reason I love to lead worship is very simple — I love to worship my God. Everyone has their own unique relationship with God and their own unique connection with God. As I grew in faith, I've discovered that I connect with God the most through worship and praise.
I especially love to lead worship with our youth groups because so many of them are just beginning to experience God, and I have the honor of leading them to a secret place with their Father in heaven, where they can simply enjoy His presence.
This year, I got to work with such a wonderfully passionate team of worship leaders. God blessed me with team mates with hearts passionate about sharing the gospel. The Holy Spirit guided us, and through that, we put a lot of emphasis on personal prayer and finding that secret place in your heart which only you and God can find, and to just dwell in the presence of the Lord, in His sanctuary and in our hearts. I truly believe that the best type of worship does not take place in a corporate setting, but rather when there is no one around and you just adore the Lord for who He is.
There is so much joy in our worship to God with young children. Jesus calls us to have faith like little children, and when we offer our worship to God, we can just praise Him with all that He's given us, and we do it like no one but God is watching, because that is all that matters. We encouraged the kids to just jump, dance, sing, and go crazy in worship! And sometimes, it's just simply so much fun to have worship dance parties in the middle of the sanctuary, with those who want to join us, stomping and clapping like there is no tomorrow.

Lord, prepare me
To be a sanctuary
Pure and holy
Tried and true
With thanksgiving
I'll be a living
Sanctuary for You
Peace, love, and Rachel's chocolate pudding, sprinkled with cocoa powder, topped with a mint leaf, and a Yogurtland spoon to match the leaf!
