Unchanging (walkin)
All Because of Jesus (Fee)
Let the Praises Ring (Brewster)
There is Nothing Like (Hillsong)
Gifted Response (Redmen)
Unchanging (Tomlin)
It was a full morning...one of our vocalists was ill last minute, but Dan really stepped up and carried the harmony, so for only 2 voices we felt strong...Unchanging was a great ending song to go along with Pastor Matt's message about unity-and I wish we could take credit by saying we planned that out ahead of time...
The combination of "There is Nothing Like" with "Gifted Response" both in the key of C created a powerful moment drawing our attention to the fact that God's love is personal, yet holy..."Father we cannot come to you by our own merit"...
Lastly, Pastor Collin grabbed a quick clip on his iphone (more proof that I need to make the financial sacrifice for one) of the impromptu drama element before the messsage...take a look:

-CHOIR WEEKEND-
Prince of Peace (walkin)
O Church Arise (Getty)
Fairest (Packiam)
Revelation Song (Kari Jobe)
I Will Rise (Tomlin)
Stronger (Hillsong)
We tossed in "Prince of Peace" last minute unrehearsed, which is always a great response to God's attributes song, and really started the morning off with focusing our attention on God first. It was only our second Sunday ever singing "O Church Arise" but I feel like it was very singable even with the choir alone (no vocalists in mics), which back at Easter it had a more choir performance to it. The transition from "Fairest" to "Revelation Song" was powerful, and having the choir sing "oohs" underneath Stephs soloing the first verse was a great effect to the song.
What I was most thankful for was seeing how everyone involved, from the tech, to the 20 plus member choir (praise God), as well as the worship team...how there was a great sense of community, and humble service toward one another. I began worship by sharing this passage from Romans 15:
"May our dependably steady and warmly personal God develop maturity in you so that you get along with each other as well as Jesus gets along with us all. Then we'll be a choir—not our voices only, but our very lives singing in harmony in a stunning anthem to the God and Father of our Master Jesus!" (The Message)

How Great Thou Art- walkin instrumental
My Savior Lives- Packiam (A)
Our God Saves- Baloche (C)
Lead Me to the Cross- more like Chris and Conrad version (G)
Jesus Messiah- Tomlin (G)
How Great Thou Art- Baloche (A)
This was week 3 of attempting a walkin song...the sax took a strong lead on the melody for "How Great Thou Art"...for the most part having a song start before the hour has really helped bring people in to be more on time, however the only issue we are still facing is the quick turn around between 1st and 2nd service which doesn't give much space for us to start early...1st ending at 10:20, and 2nd service beginning at 10:30...
The first two songs really set the pace for an energetic time of worship. The transition was quick and seamless with just a 4 count on the high hat..."Lead me to the Cross" felt a little high, but I could hear the 2nd service sing out, especially when we ended with just the chorus...all in all a solid worship set.

Awesome is the Lord Most High (Tomlin)
Let God Arise (Tomlin)
Open up the Sky (Deluge)
Hosanna (Baloche)
How Deep the Father's Love for Us (Townend)
Tons going on this weekend for worship. We started a new series which meant there was a new set and staging. I was wrestling with having the drums on the left instead of center, but after seeing it in place I was sold. Ginny did an amazing job with getting the logo up, and whenever there's a new setup it really builds excitement and communicates we are intentional about worship.
We decided to try a walk-in song again to see if it truly does encourage the church to get in on time for worship. I have noticed some improvement happen. "Let God Arise" finally seems to be connecting with the church, but I was blown away that "Open up the Sky" was immediately singable for its first week. Both Jill and Steph did a solid job leading verses in "How Deep the Father's Love for Us."
It was also our fall worship vision/planning lunch after second service. There was great attendance, plenty of food, and a great sense of community. Thanks for everyone pitching in to make this happen, as well as the great conversations that took place.

Sunday Setlist
Marvelous Light (Hall)
Happy Day (Hughes)
It is Well (Fields)
O Praise Him (Crowder)
Not to Us (Tomlin)
It was youth Sunday, which meant we were all ready to go by 7 am. The church even applauded when I mentioned that every student was on time for rehearsal- showing their willingness to serve and give to God.
Even though we had 6 total vocalists on stage, the mix was solid (thanks Sean) and the girls each took turns leading verses to songs by themselves- and did an amazing job at it, not holding back and really singing out. We started "Marvelous Light" 2 minutes early just to see if we could encourage the church to get in the sanctuary on time which seem to help some because I noticed we were more full by the second song.
"Happy Day" was new to the church as far as I can remember, and it would be worth adding to the Sunday morning rotation. I was very pleased with how quick the new chorus to "It is Well" caught on and we will definitely be revisiting it again soon. All around I was very blessed with how well the church received and encouraged the youth that served.

Your Grace is Enough (Maher)
At the Cross (Renstrom)
From the Inside Out (Hillsong)
Come Thou Fount Come Thou King (Gateway)
You Never Let Go (Redman)
All morning we were rejoicing because the amazingly positive attitudes that everyone held during a difficult sound issue rehearsal. This is the speaker that normally puts out sound:
But for some unknown reason due to technical problems, our normal speakers decided to make everyone sound like they were singing through a walkie-talkie. So, thanks to our amazing sound and tech servants, this is what ended up saving the day:
Yet another praise was our solid Thursday rehearsal, which meant we only had to run through the set once after we addressed sound issues before the service. "Your Grace is Enough" was particularly strong to begin the morning upbeat. Todd did a great job sharing from his heart to transition into "At the Cross", which was new to me, but yet again familiar to the church, so I was grateful Todd took the melody on it as I continue to learn the song.
Sadly because the speakers weren't giving much high end, Josh's lead on "From the Inside Out" didn't come through as strong as it had in rehearsed. I'm always amazed at how songs during worship connect with the message even though it was for the most part unintentional. One of Pastor Van's passing points was an invitation for God to change us from the inside out, which is exactly what we had sung during worship. "Come Thou Fount Come Thou King" was very single singable, both the hymn verses and added chorus, and ended the worship set on a strong note going right into Greg's great pastoral prayer.
Lastly, I've been thankful for the way the team really listens for the shortened version of the response song, especially since we had to cut down "You Never Let Go" to V1, PC, C, B, B, C, C.

Sing to the King- E
Desert Song- D (Hillsong)
Your Name- G (Baloche)
I Will Rise- G (Tomlin)
I Have Decided- C
Overall there was a great attitude towards worship and rehearsals this week. I was very blessed by the team's energy and willingness to serve the church through leading as well serve each other- I really noticed that everyone seemed to be listening to the other instrumentalists and vocalists to create space in the songs.
"Sing to the King" always works well as a call to worship. Steph and Jill did a wonderful job transitioning to "Desert Song", which the church is really starting to own as a prayer song. I had forgotten how singable "Your Name" is, and both services belted out the simple but powerful chorus. We haven't sung "I Will Rise" since easter, but it really felt like a familiar song.
Pastor Matt did a great job with the "Heroes" message, and it was a good transition right into a response by teaching the meaning behind "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus." Here's a clip:
