Gospel Summer Tour.

Musical accompaniment has one major purpose: supporting congregational singing! The most important sound on Sunday morning is your congregation. Have the band stop playing occasionally to let the people hear one another. I promise they will sing louder and more heartily in response.

Let the people sing!
