I am sad to hear that my church is not the only one having this problem. We have two bands, one for the morning services and one for the evening services. I play in the morning band which has dedicated members who are almost always there and play their heart out. We have 3 guitars, bass, drums, keyboard, and 7 singers. The evening band was 3 guitars, bass, drums, and 5 singers. Everything was great.... I normally do not go to the night service but there was a speaker there this past sunday night that I wanted to hear. I was shocked when I arrived and only saw 1 acoustic gutar player and 4 singers. I am friends with the guitar player so I asked him "where is everyone?", to my surprise he stated that over the last 2 months everyone but him had quit because they did not have enough time! Well long story short - I was asked to play with him and I gladly accecpted. I will now play three services in the morning, pratice at 3:00, and play again from 6:00-8:00. I belive that the best way to get people to be dedicated is to set the example yourself. In time I belive that we can fill the holes missing from our band and continue the Lord's work.
