Word of God Speak- A (Mercy Me)
How Great Thou Art- A (Baloche)
Mighty to Save- A (Mighty to Save)
O For a Thousand Tongues- E (Crowder)
We Crown You- E (Fee)
Glorious- B (Tomlin)
This sermon series on "Discernment" has been tough for me...it's something I've been wrestling with personally- What does it mean to hear from God? How do you know for sure?...My hesitations and frustrations about the topic are the result of personal times when I thought I was hearing from God but it turned out it wasn't Him...as well as seeing how others have used the claim that they have heard from God for personal gain...
So what's risen to the top for me is this...how relevant the discernment series is- and to even ask the questions 'what is God saying,' or 'am I hearing from God' is a good sign...it shows that you have a desire for Him...because we are all given a need to know and hear from God- created with a need for a relationship with God, however, without a renewed heart, we do not and will not desire Him...
How has God spoken to me?...how do I discern God's voice?...well the best and only completely reliable way is Scripture...I have always loved Jesus' response to Peter when he called Him the the Messiah..."this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven." (Matthew 16:17)

Awesome is the Lord Most High- E (Tomlin)
All Because of Jesus- A (Fee)
How He Loves- C (McMillan)
Stronger- C (Hillsong)
Fairest- D (Desperation Band)
Todd did a great job leading out on "All Because of Jesus" keeping up the energy that we started with both services, and his transition into prayer kept the focus on Christ as we entered into a more intimate time of worship with "How He Loves" and building into "Stronger"...
Since we were running short on time we had to limit "Fairest" to only the 1st verse, 2 choruses, then ending with the last verse...overall a great weekend and even better attitudes ready to serve one another and give to God...
Another highlight and praise was the addition of our new keyboard that God blessed us with...it immediately added a fuller sound...thank You Lord!
Team:
Todd-keys/vocals
Lianna-vocals
Zachary W.-acoustic/vocals

Sweetly Broken- B (Riddle)
Today is the Day- C (Brewster)
Hosanna- G (Baloche)
Your Grace is Enough- G (Maher)
The challenge I gave coming out of "Sweetly Broken" for the new year was this:
What would 2011 as well as our worship look like if instead of being defined by our successes we would be defined by our brokenness?
Dan did a great job transitioning through prayer going into "Hosanna" which is always a powerful song that invites God to help us keep Him in focus instead of our issues and worries...we kept strumming the G and kicked in big with the intro to "Your Grace is Enough" which ended our first worship time of 2011 by celebrating the greatest thing there is- Christ!

Let the Praises Ring-C (Brewster)
Angels From the Realms of Glory-A
Everlasting God- (Tomlinish)
Marvelous Light-A (Hall)
Jesus Paid it All-B (Passion)
We almost canceled rehearsal this week but from how tired we seemed Sunday morning after Christmas I am so glad we came in with a good sense of where the worship set was going...Steph did a great job transitioning into the first hymn by sharing about the invitation each verse to come worship Christ...we then went right into the chorus of "Everlasting God" and finished that song taking a moment to pray the verse asking for God's strength as we wait on Him...
Pastor Matt's message was a good close to 2010 in that it put the emphasis on God and His plans no matter our circumstances and no matter what is to come in the new year...excited to see what God has for the worship ministry this coming next year!...

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION
Ensemble Prelude- O Come O Come Emanuel
Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Joy to the World Verse intro
Joy to the World- C with choir
O Come All Ye Faithful- F
Glory in the Highest- A with Christmas verse
Advent Candle with Dance
O Holy Night- A
Unspeakable Joy- A/B
I was so blessed by the amount of people who joined in to help serve to make a great weekend of worship and celebration...the choir did an amazing job leading with their hearts, the new addition of the brass brought an exciting introduction to the service...and it was very fitting that we celebrated through "Joy to the World" to begin and end the services...
Van's message on "Living in the Gap" brought a reality to Christmas and for the need for the birth of Jesus, and coming out of which we sang out the powerful words to "O Holy Night"..."long lay the world in sin and error pining, till He appeared and the soul felt its worth..."
Overall, I was very thankful for the attitudes of those who stepped up to lead by serving and giving...it's always a reminder for me that Jesus is in our midst when I see people surrender and love one another- which is not an easy thing, but it's so amazing!...thanks to all who were a part of the weekend!

KIDS MUSICAL
Hallelujah Your Love is Amazing- G-A (Baloche)
Fall on Us Now- A (Vineyard)
Glory in the Highest- A (Tomlin)
ADVENT
Hark the Herald Angels Sing- E (Wesley)
It was a packed stage with the set ready for the Kids Christmas Musical, but I was very impressed with the sound and tech team who championed getting everyone and everything where they needed to be...
Pastor Van helped lead the first two songs, and it was a great opportunity to share in our friendship- as well as for me to enjoy his heart for worship...I was very impressed with how the team really followed and listened well to where we needed to go musically...
"Glory in the Highest" created a feel in the middle of the set to sing out what the angels proclaimed over the birth of Christ...for the Advent candle, we joined in a responsive reading that partnered psalms that focus on joy and between which the church said together "The Joy of the Lord is our Strength"...and to transition to the kids play we sang the familiar Christmas hymn "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"...
Team:
Van- acoustic vocals
Laura- keys vocals
Mike- bass
Tom- drums
Zachary W.- acoustic vocals

Joy to the World Unspeakable Joy- A-B (Tomlin
Sweetly Broken- B (Riddle)
Desert Song- D (Hillsong)
ADVENT
Unchanging- E (Tomlin)
Sing to the King- E (Jesus Culturish)
"Unspeakable Joy" was difficult to find a good key- A was low during the verses but B caused the added chorus to jump up high- even still it brought great energy to the beginning of the morning...
There was a great theme from the first song going into "Sweetly Broken" that also expresses how before God we are at a "loss for words" when we see His beauty and glory...I was amazed hearing how "Desert Song" has really become a great prayer for our church...that took us right to a time of silence for the Peace Candle lighting...
We transitioned out of silence just vocally singing the chorus to "Unchanging"...and there was once again great energy at the end with "Sing to the King"...Pat on media picked out the Revelation 3 verse to put up on the screen during the intro, and I was blessed when one of our elders shared how that connected with him during worship...I love how the body comes together like that to serve one another...finally we ended with just voices singing..."For He Alone is Worthy- Christ the Lord"...
