"The rituals were such a huge success largely because of your presence, shaping the pieces into a lovely whole. Your singing, spontaneity, humour and grounded humanity still vibrate in me."

Tannis, of Spiritual Directors International 2007

“... the folk who went were beyond thrilled, quite moved, and will be changed.”

What Linnea Can Do for you in Worship

With a Master of Religious Education degree, Linnea can lead in worship in a variety of ways:

Linnea can do as little as:

accompany congregational singing
lead/teach/animate congregational singing (at the piano)

or as much as:

accompany all service music
sing anthems
present scripture
lead a children's theme time
preach the message (through song, story and reflection)
perform with choir or children's group (one of her own compositions)
or leave entirely to lead children in a separate Children's Worship or Church School musical visit

If you should engage the services of Linnea (and team) to help you lead worship, we would agree to:

Consult with you in the weeks and days prior to the service to plan it together
Provide powerpoint projection files as necessary, at least 5 days prior to worship
Work in collaboration, inasmuch as possible, with your music leaders
Be responsible for set-up of our equipment at your church prior to worship.

You would agree to:

Provide an in-tune piano for Linnea to play
Provide the house sound system, including a microphone and boom stand (sometimes provided by Good Company)
Pay a fee (+ GST/HST in Canada) for the worship service (please consult our agent for the rate, based on area and circumstance: agent at Linneagood.com
Provide a support person to assist with running the projection and one to assist with the sales table, if no road manager accompanies the team
Possibly provide overnight hosting on the day before or after the worship service

Before our arrival, please

Arrange for an area large enough to hold a set of drums (and a very small sound system if we are providing it)
Have an acoustic piano available and ensure the piano is in tune and in good repair. It should be turned so that Linnea can look at the congregation, even at an angle
Set up large table for sales in the refreshment area.

On the Sunday morning please arrange to have someone available 1 hour before worship, to show us:

the area, including lights, power outlets, etc.
a dressing room that can be locked with, or close to, a washroom
a large table for sales in the refreshment area.

We would also ask that you:

welcome and introduce Linnea (and team) at the beginning of worship, mentioning that she will have CDs and books for people to buy after the service
include a brief welcome and description of Linnea in your worship bulletin or hand-outs, including her web address

Linnea looks forward to working (and playing) with you!
