Sing Sing Sing- C (Tomlin)(1/2 walkin)

Let God Arise- A (Tomlin)
Your Name- A (Baloche)
Sweetly Broken- B (Riddle)

Lead Me to the Cross- G (Hillsong)

There were a few obstacles for the morning- but God as always prevails- "the church will stand she will endure" (Let God Arise)...vocally I lead the up front set alone, and after leading 3 worship sessions at the youth retreat, I'm grateful my voice was carried through...

Last minute we switched the order to end with "Lead me to the Cross" so Daniel could come and join- and it was so easy to blend with his melody...thematically I was keying in on rest- the invitation to come to Christ and trust Him with our hearts...the baptism video also touched on the same theme, only to be followed by Pastor Matts message on freedom...

YOUTH SUNDAY

Solution- G walkin (Hillsong)

Our God- G (Tomlin)
Happy Day- C (Hughes)
Stronger- C (Hillsong)
From the Inside Out- C (Hillsong)

It is Well- A (Fields)

Usually the youth lead every time there is a 5th Sunday in a month, however next weekend is the fall retreat so they switched it up...and above all I was blown away by their commitment and passion to give their all to God...the vocalists took time to work on harmony parts...Josh on electric carried the guitar parts to each Hillsong tune...and every member was where they needed to be when they needed to be there...

The flow of the morning really highlighted the emphasis of Pastor Vans message...of how God changes us, and transforms us to be more like Him...since most of the songs were in similar and relative keys, we were able to take our time transitioning- either with a spoken invitation to the church to join in focusing on what the words we are lifting up to God are saying- or by just allowing the melody to create space during our morning time of worship...

Saturday Setlist

Cannons- F (whickham)
I Stand Amazed- F (tomlin)
Center- F (hall)
Message
True Love- A (whickham)
Open up the Sky- A (deluge)
Blessed Be Your Name- A (redman)

It was a more low key evening of worship- still the same passion though...we kept the sets in the same key so there would an easy flow...Evan lead vocally very strong- between the second and third song Collin came up and challenged everyone to take time to journal with God...

Coming back up after the message, once again Evan lead off well with a great spirit and expression to a newer song for our Saturday night gathering...the flow from that into "Open up the Sky" built great tension that was released with the powerful lyrics... "we don't want blessings, we want you"...

Evan- acoustic/vocals
Josh- keys/vocals

I am Free-C walkin (Newsboys)

Today is the Day-C (Brewster)
Hallelujah Your Love is Amazing-G (Baloche)
Desert Song-D (Hillsong)
Amazing Grace My Chains are Gone-D (Tomlin)

Choir Weekend! The choir came ready to serve God and the church by giving their all in worship for sure...we started "I am Free" during the countdown, then once it hit zero we kept playing then invited the church to join in one more time through the verse that built into a full high chorus...

"Today is the Day" was convicting for me as I came into the morning stressed- so when we sang out "I won't worry about tomorrow- I'm giving you my fears and sorrows"- it was a moment of surrender to let go and just worship...we decided to not do the key change for "Hallelujah" which also helped keep things more simple for the morning...

When we rehearsed "Desert Song" really didn't feel like a choir song- but hearing everyone really sing out on the bridge was another great moment for me... "all of my life, in every season, you are still God I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship..." Finishing with "Amazing Grace" helped transition well into the message for our current series of Galatians- especially since the major theme Paul wrote on is Grace- seriously, almost every chapter touches on it...

Mission City

A few weeks ago we were preparing the hymn "Nothing But the Blood" and after building up the chorus we sang out some words that Josh and Caleb back in the sound booth latched onto...they quickly tossed up those additions on the screen...here's the clip from worship that night:



Thank you for the blood
Thank you for the cross
Thank you for your body
That was given up for us

How He Loves- C walkin (McMillan)
Sing Sing Sing- C (Tomlin)
At the Cross- G (Renstrom)
Holy is the Lord- G (Tomlin)
Rescue- D (Anderson)
Message
All I Have- A (Vineyard)


In the case of faith vs. the law, faith wins!...that was Pastor Collin's message theme- and the giant gavel was used as a sermon illustration. This was our very first Sunday morning attempt at using a click track/worship loop...and aside from my itouch giving us some trouble (thanks to me dropping it in water) the team really did a great job staying with the metronome- and my biggest surprise about worship loops is how much it really does free up the transitions so we can focus on leading others in worship instead of focusing on all the details of the song...

Another first was "How He Loves" for our Sunday services...though our Saturday and youth gatherings are quite familiar with it...Todd did a great job leading both "At the Cross" and "All I Have"...the transition into "Holy is the Lord" worked very well and built both anticipation and energy that partnered well with the anthem of the lyrics...

Saturday Setlist

Death in His Grave- walkin (McMillan)
Sing Sing Sing- (Tomlin)
Forever Reign- (Hillsong)
Prayer
Sweetly Broken- (Riddle)
Jesus Paid it all- (Passion)
Message
O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing- (Crowder)

So enough is enough, I've finally committed to sharing our Saturday evening worship sets as well...this is week 2 of attempting to introduce click track worship loops...it seemed to work well for our walk-in song...Josh did a great job finding a great "That's My King" video to act as the call to worship- which really introduced the theme of the night- again, moments I wish we could claim we had planned, but just goes to show how great God is at working in all our hearts separately in our planning...

"Sing Sing Sing" brought some great energy that carried into "Forever Reign" nicely...which I'm so glad we didn't use the loop track so right before the bridge we could toss out this verse:

"My dear children, let's not just talk about love; let's practice real love. This is the only way we'll know we're living truly, living in God's reality. It's also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves." (1 John 3:19-20 The Message)

Then when it came to singing the words "My heart will sing, no other name...Jesus, Jesus"...it was our cry for God to show His greatness and make that a true reality in our lives...

Evan did an amazing job leading "Sweetly Broken" and "Jesus Paid it All"...transitioning them well...ending with "O For a Thousand Tongues" was the right choice as a Pastor Collin suggestion after seeing how well it worked last week during the Sunday services...

Hold us Together- (Maher) Walk-in Song

Open up the Sky- (Deluge)
Glorious- (Tomlin)
O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing (Crowder)
You Gave Your Life Away- (Baloche)

I always love communion weekends...we had a full team, and a different mix of music- "Hold us Together" worked well as a gather walk in song, which keying it to A helped that transition work well right into "Open up the Sky"...the surprise of the morning was how much energy "O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing" brought, building nicely during into the chorus- we ended by fading out with the words "there is one great love...Jesus"...Doug did a wonderful job championing the bazuki...here's a clip explaining:
