When someone prompts those in a congregation to do something, a vastly more effective way is to invite, not ask, and over the last few weeks I've seen two different people utilise the secret sauce of worship leading.
They uttered the phrase "Please join me..."
As an instruction, this phrase does everything right.
First, it tells people what you want them to to.
Second, it reassures them that they won't be the only person doing it.
Finally, and most importantly, if the worship leader says that they will be vulnerable and do the activity first it removes the moment of anxiousness of needing to be the trendsetter.
