Worship Confessional, January 31, 2010

Today was our Disciple Now Weekend wrap up service and I wasn't on stage ( although I was baptizing). It's nice to be able to sit back and enjoy being a worshiper and not the worship leader sometimes.

Worship was led today by the band Words In Windows from Abilene. The kids really enjoyed them and they did mostly Phil Wickham and Hillsong United stuff which we haven't done before with our congregation. So, it was a little hard to engage in all "new" stuff, but our congregation really joined in on THE STAND which was a power song for us last year. Hearing everyone sing that song reminded me that when I think a song is a flop, it's just being seeded into the congregation and I'll never know when that song will come back to be "alive" in the midst of the congregation.

Here's the set

"Rise"

Baptism--I baptized one of my son's friends and my daughter's boyfriend. All went well until

Chance (Taylor's boyfriend) didn't bend his knees and went down like a log. I almost didn't get him up (he's 150 pounds of solid football player muscle!) We both laughed.

Welcome/Announcements/ Prayer Focus on Europe

Mission's Mercy Video --Child sponsorship

Canons--Phil Wickham

The Stand--Hillsong

Message--B.J. Farguson from First Evangelical Free from Austin was the speaker for the weekend. Spoke on the Prodigal son.

Came To My Rescue--Hillsong

How He Loves

Besides being a host home for the weekend (6th grade girls) it was still a very busy day for me... so is there really a day off from being a minister?
