3-TIPS for a Stress-Free Easter Week

Some have dubbed it the "Super Bowl of Sundays" for church musicians! For Worship Leaders and those in ministry, Easter week is very busy, super rewarding and sometimes quite stressful! You likely have extra services to prepare and to sing! It requires a good amount of stamina and a good bit of intentionality.

So, how do you walk into Easter week with joy in your step, fully ready, in good voice and stress free?

Here are my 3-Tips for a Stress Free Easter week!

Tip # 1

STAY close to JESUS

I know, it sounds obvious. We are worshipers before we are singers and staying close to Jesus in personal worship is the number one reminder for all of us to prepare for your Easter marathon. Be it 3-minutes in the car or 30-minutes in your prayer closet, find your favorite worship song and sing it to the Lord. Talk to Him often. Listen to Him and be in His Presence. He will fill you with strength and joy for the week ahead.

Tip # 2

STAY Hydrated

When I get busy, I often stop drinking water! (probably because I've switched to coffee and more coffee!) Don't do it! To do a vocal marathon like Easter week, we need to DRINK, DRINK, DRINK WATER, all week.

You can not hydrate enough in the days prior to long singing, especially if it's allergy season (Spring pollen and flowers are here!) and your allergy meds dry you out even more.

Tip # 3

STAY Vocally relaxed

If you want to be in tip-top shape on Easter (or earlier in the week) your voice could use warm-ups every day this week. Keeping loose, free and open will help you be relaxed and confident on the platform.

My friends, I pray for a blessed week for your Ministry! I pray that you have beautiful worship to the Lord and confidence in your singing.

Happy Easter from Christine@WorshipSingers!

Small Adjustments, Big Freedom

Hey Singers! A little reminder this week about vocal tension! Every voice carries tension somewhere at some point. It doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong — it just means you’re human. Remember, our whole body is part of our instrument, so tension can sneak in anywhere. Sometimes it shows up in your throat. Sometimes it’s your jaw, your face, or the way you’re holding your shoulders. If you’re playing guitar or piano, your body position can add strain without you even realizing it. Even...

Stop Crossing your Fingers and Hoping for the BEST - Another way forward!

Spring 2026 Stop Crossing Your Fingers...and HOPING for the BEST... Are you the type of person who thrives on structure, or do you prefer to "go with the flow" and see what happens when the microphone turns on? If you’re an artistic type, you might prefer to throw schedules to the wind to keep the creative juices flowing. While that spontaneity feels good in the moment, we often carry that same "Que Sera, Sera"—whatever will be, will be—attitude into our singing. (For my younger readers:...

When Worship Feels Hard, That’s When It Matters Most

September 2025 When Worship Feels Hard, That’s When It Matters Most Tomorrow maybe raw... This has been a heavy week — for our country, for us as Christians, and honestly, just as humans. You might feel raw, angry, or overwhelmed with emotion. And yet, if you're scheduled to lead worship tomorrow, you’re expected to be “on” — smiling, confident, full of faith. But inside? It might be a different story. As worship singers, we often believe we have to lead from the mountaintop. But the truth...
