Harp and Bowl Model in 10 Seconds

This is the worship model that we use in 456 for theWall. So all of our worship leaders, singers, musicians, sound techs, and prayer leaders can keep track of what's going on. This model helps organize the chaos of music and prayer happening at the same time and actually allows for much more freedom.

3 pillars of the model:

1. Centrality of Scripture

2. Team Ministry (on stage)

3. Inclusiveness (in the room)

The H&B Model happens in cycles (2 or 3 in a given set). A cycle looks like this:

1. Corporate Worship (unites the room)

2. Spontaneous Singing (engages the people personally with God)

3. Prayer

a. Prayer Leader prays from mic (music shifts)

b. Prayer Leader ends prayer with "in the name of Jesus: summarization"

c. Singers antiphonalize (responsive singing of short phrases based on the summary/verse)

d. Chorus (corporate chorus that allows the room to sing the prayer)

e. Next prayer leader... starts again

f. Optional small group prayer

Once 4 or 5 prayer leaders have prayed, then the cycle restarts. We go back into worship either directly or with small group prayer in between, and then we follow the steps again. This is a basic worship model for an intercession set. It allows the prayer leader to lead during the prayer, the entire room to be engaged, and for musicians and singers to be creative and spontaneous. If the prayer leader uses a verse, and the singers sing the verse, then we have accomplished all three of the pillars!

Simple, slick, snazzy.
