This week’s survey has to do with congregational singing.

We have been discussing what a difference is made in the congegational singing when the participation level is high.  In spite of our best efforts of encouragement, it is not uncommon to see people not involved.

The question for this week (thanks to Phil Ware for his assistance) is this: When observing people who are not singing in the worship assembly, what do you think is the most common reason they don't join in?   Pick up to three answers, ranking your top answer as number one and so on.

___  They don't know the song (different groups in the church know different songs)

___  They are coerced into attending and don't really want to be there

___  They’re from a background where they don't feel they have to sing to actively participate
___  They want to listen and be blessed while praising God in their hearts
___  They're visitors and are just observing
___  They don't like the song and won't sing
___  They want to rest and enjoy the feel of the event

___  They don't like the sound of their singing voice, and don't want to be a hindrance to people around them.

What do you think?
