At best. At worst...a pile of feces.

Difficult to believe that it's getting on for four years since version 1. This still looks like several unconnected beta apps, with different interface conventions (or non-conventions), all lumped behind a clunky front end that, for no Earthly reason I can divine, hides the menubar and dock.
Awkward to use and configure, it's rather as if someone had glued together a few rough pieces of wood, called the end result a pipe-rack, and put it on sale for £20. There's no law against that, of course, but I won't be recommending WorshipLeader to the worship leaders at my local church.

I wasn't able to use this software effectively. For many of the same reasons listed below.

I can see that this program is a labor of love for the author, but it is riddled with issues. After only five minutes with the application, I make the following comments:
Problems:
- "Auto bakup ON" and "Load bakup" buttons: "Backup" is misspelled.
- The buttons P, S, R, C, M communicate NOTHING. How about words or icons?
- There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with the e-mail field.
- Of the 125 songs included in the program, many VIOLATE US COPYRIGHT LAW. They cannot be freely distributed. To be legal, the author must delete all but the public domain songs.
- In Calendar view, the "Deletet Month" and Deletet Year" buttons have misspelled "Delete".
Suggestions:
- Should have three members phone fields for work, home, and mobile.
- "Exit" is not a good indicator for going back to the main screen. It looks like you're quitting the application.
- This program has a LONG way to go before it is usable to the average Worship Leader.

A worship team is a church's band.

This program has a wonderful amount of uses, and is a great utility.
I would agree that it has some GUI issues here and there, and could be more optimized for ease of use. THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT DESERVES LESS STARS.
I can see that there were other programs that inspired parts of thsi program.
the music selection window is similar in look to SundayPlus.
It would be nice if the user could use the up and down keys to move through the songs.
The Calendar could have a bit more flexibility, perhaps have a day view for more notes and suggestions, thoughts, etc.
Also, with the calendar page, it might be good not to have the Exit button as the automatically focused button. That's annoying to type something, hit enter, and your dropped back to the main page (which is what needs the most interface work)
One more note on the calendar page... I believe the word "Delete" has an extra T in it at the moment.
I would agree with some of the other comments that the buttons to switch between sections are a bit vague. Also, keep the different section buttons in the same place on each page. the Members button is on the left on one page, and on the right on another. Keep things Uniform. Also, keep that array of buttons on the same place on every section. Uniform placement will keep the level of confusion low, and ease of use high.
As for the term, Rota, I've never heard this term before. It might be better just to call it something more direct. I know that it'll be hard to not confuse it with "calendar", but it needs a more recognizable term. If you refer to that schedule to your bandmembers as "rota" they probably won't know what you're talkin' about either.
For the member Info, it might be nice to have it integrate with apple's Addressbook program, and the calendar sync with iCal. That would be wonderful to see how it lines up with other schedules and such.

"An exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down."
That's all I got, and it quits on me.

There also seem to be some problems using the latest release on OS X: the application file does not have the '.app' extension in its name and would not launch correctly until this was added; the 'ReadMeFirst' file has the '.rtf' extension (rich text file) but seems to be just a plain text file (.txt) and will not open in TextEdit unless the incorrect extension is changed.
When you actually manage to open the 'ReadMeFirst' file, you find contained in it the line:
"I want this software to be blessing, not a pain!"
WorshipLeader has yet to achieve that state of grace.
