Participants of the 2008 "Glorious" Worship Conference knew they were in the "Right Place" June 20 - 22 after hearing this humorous yet poignant introduction by Ralph Beerhorst of Chicago, Illinois.
I hope you feel that God has got you just in the right place this weekend...Are you sure?
If you’ve ever been at church before most of your brothers and sisters have gotten out of bed, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.- If you’ve ever been at rehearsal after most of your brothers and sisters have gotten into bed, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If you get to sit through an entire service with your spouse or family about as often as the Chicago Cubs win the World Series, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If you’ve ever gone to work on Monday praising God because it was going to be a far less busy day than Sunday, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If your typos have ever been projected in front of an entire congregation,
YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. - If your role in the worship service is only noticed if something goes wrong, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If your quiet time on a Sunday ever consisted of desperately praying that God would help you remember your lines, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
If you always hoped to write or arrange a song for the Kingdom songbook, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.- If you always hoped that people would correctly sing the song you wrote or arranged in the Kingdom songbook, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If you’ve always hoped that you could somehow get more involved in your worship service, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If you’ve always hoped that you could somehow get LESS involved in your worship service...by raising others up to use their talents for the Lord...YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If you’ve ever done an interpretive dance that has moved the hearts of the brothers and sisters, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

- If you’ve ever sung or spoken into a lav, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

- If no one wants to ride with you to church because you have to vocalize in the car, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If no one CAN ride with you to church because your vehicle is filled with gear, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If you’ve ever wrestled with participating in the worship versus judging the worship, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If you’ve ever struggled with replacing selfish ambition with Godly ambition, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If you’ve ever been moved to tears by a message, a song or dramatic presentation, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
- If you simply want to worship the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and want to help others to do the same, YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!
