OVERFLOWCliff Duren, April Duren & Heather Richardson

Overflow is made up of husband/wife team, Cliff and April Duren, along with their good friend, Heather Richardson. Their ministry together started at First Baptist Church Woodstock, GA, where they led wor-ship on a weekly basis. As other opportunities came, the trio felt led to embark on their first Overflow re-cording in 2011, “All to Bring You Glory.” Since then, they have recorded 4 projects; their most recent re-lease being “You Reign Forever.” Each recording con-tains an eclectic mix of modern worship, gospel, and a cappella music. No matter the style, Overflow has their heart set on lifting high the name of Jesus and sharing the true saving message of the Gospel.

Cliff and wife, April, have 4 children (Mac, Sydney, Elijah, & Emma Kate). Cliff writes and produces music resources for the local church in addition to serving as the worship pastor at the Church at Station Hill in Spring Hill, TN, a Regional Campus of Brentwood Baptist Church. April teaches a weekly Bible study, does studio session work, and is very active in the music ministry at SH.

Heather and her husband, Scott, live in Woodstock, GA with their 5 children (3 biological girls: Addie, Ol-ivia & Sophie; and 2 adopted children: Noah & Tiffany), where she continues to lead on the worship team at FBCW. Scott works in commercial construction and is an incredible supporter of the music ministry of Overflow.

Every Overflow event has its own unique feel and approach. You may find the group leading worship for a conference or worship service, doing a full concert, or joining together with choirs and orchestras for a worship concert. No matter the occasion, Cliff, April, and Heather are humbled and thrilled for every op-portunity to represent Christ & minister through music.

WORSHIP PASTOR INTENSIVEDr. David Manner

Friday Morning Plenary Title: “More Than A Feeling”Mark 12:28-31Is it possible our worshippers are hooked on a feeling instead of spirit and truth worship? So if that feeling is not elicited, are they leaving our worship services believing worship couldn’t and didn’t occur? Worship that just stirs the emotions may not be worship at all.

Saturday Morning PlenaryTitle: “The Unforced Rhythms of Grace”Matthew 11:28-30If you’ve flown on a commerical airline you have heard the flight attendant recite the following pre-flight safety instructions: “In the unlikely event the air level in the main cabin becomes unstable, oxygen masks will drop in front of each passenger.” Passengers are then instructed to secure their own masks before assisting other passengers. Some of us are exhausted physically, emotionally, and spiritually. So how can we expect to lead otherswhere we no longer have the resolve to go ourselves?

50 Worship Tips Rookies Should Learn andVeterans Should RelearnIt doesn’t matter if you are a worship-leadingnovice or aging veteran; you have inevitably looked back at certain services, special events, entire seasons or various relationships with a deep longing for a second chance to handle things differently. It’s impossible to go back and make corrections for most of those situations. But we do have a chance to get it right the next time.

Why Grandparents and Grandchildren Can’t Worship TogetherIn an effort to appease multiple generations and minimize conflict, we often look for a watered down stylistic and musical common ground or divide our church along age and preference lines. Except in rare cases, the worshiping community suffers and all generations lose. So how can we help “One generation praise God’s works to another?” (Psalm 145:4)

(Dr. David Manner, cont’d)Creating Worship TouristsIf we never involve our congregants as more than casual bystanders while we read, speak, sing, play, pray, testify, lead, mediate, commune, baptize, confess, thank, petition and exhort for them, then how can we expect them to transform from passive spectators to active participators? Aren’t we really creating worship tourists who select their destination based solely on their impression of the platform tour guide and excursion offered rather than worship travelers on a continuous journey?
