In order words, the worship connects the congregation on earth with the father in heaven. This is an important reason why we need to pray for them. Here are prayer points for the worship team;

Thank you so much for this article. As a past active musician/singer for many years, I asked The Lord what my responsibility is to the church I now attend. The response was so quick. You must pray and uphold the praise and worship team.
When I approached the worship leader, she broke down in grateful tears. She had been praying for a while that someone would take up the role to uphold the team in prayer . Thanks for your great God given comments which will help me plan and communicate with our Blessed Father and the team.
