My wife and I just celebrated one year on our worship team. When we started, the band was just starting up again after a 3 month hiatus. We practiced for 3 months before we performed. It was a great time to become family and to gel as musicians. That I know is not an option for most Worship teams.
We have 12! singers (max). Out of those, 2 sing lead 80% of the time. They are the professional musicians of the bunch. 8 of the 12 can/do sing lead. It is very hard on the egos sometimes when it may go weeks before we can take a turn. I get to sing about every other week. Got to sing 2x this past Sunday. Even one I wrote about 20 years ago in college. Cool! Got to remember that it is for HIM, not us. My wife and I both read music and it was very hard at first when we were told, just make something up in harmony! Now it's a blast and easy. If only it were that easy for me to learn lead guitar  . I'm getting better and very much improved in the last year, but a long way to go!
