You could also have people in the congregation stand up and read a different stanza from their place in the sanctuary as a call to worship. Still backgrounds for worship are a great choice for when the congregation is reading scripture from the screens. Be sure to choose colors and fonts that are easy to read so that everyone can participate. (You can read some tips on great slide designs for worship HERE).
thank you for Psalm 100. I am a worship leader at a methodist church in UK and once a year, at Christmas, I bring in a brass band and we have a really good sing using carols, prayers, bible readings, sketches, solos and funny songs. Children love 12 Days of Christmas and Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and the adults enjoy Winter Wonderland. Its all about having a good time. Our normal congregation might be 18-24. On that day it numbers 70-80. We dont pass round the offering plate, we have a retiring collection.
"God of wonders beyond our galaxy...", as the song goes! This is one of my favorite worship songs. It's easy to pick up and play (using our same four chords once again), and it's a little more upbeat allowing it to fit in the middle of any worship segment easily.
I would highly recommend starting with this song if you're just beginning to learn some worship music. The chord progression for the verses and the chorus is exactly the same, making it easy to master.
