Sorry for OT..
But out of pure interest..do you get paid for these worship gigs?And if yes..how much?
In the states, *some* churches pay their band members. But it certainly isn't the norm. Personally, if a church is paying to have a band - and they aren't on staff or at least comprised of members of the congregation - I'd be a bit wary.
I've served on my church's worship team for over 5 years as a volunteer. It's not every weekend (nor would I want it to be).
