Worship Confessional, July 18, 2010

This post is part of Sunday Set List over on The Worship Community Blog. It's where worship leaders all over the world share their Sunday experiences.

I was away today on vacation (1 day only)  I had previously scheduled the week to be away with a family member--but plans changed and I was here.  My friend, Rich Smith, was already scheduled to be here and couldn't reschedule.  So-we took the day off.  First time not leading since Feb. 5--I guess I can take a Sunday off.

Here is his set-list for the day:

Great In Power (Fragar)
Majestic (Brewster)
Blessed Assurance (Hymn)
Welcome/Announcements--we announced today that we will have a candidate in view of a call as Sr. Pastor on Aug. 1
Love Lifted Me (Hymn)
I See You (Mullins)
Be The Centre
Message--Becoming A Healthy Church: Generosity (Dave Bilderback)
Glory To God (Beeching/Fee)

Worship Confessional, May 30, 2010

This post is part of Sunday Set List over on The Worship Community Blog.

Today we began our series on BECOMING A HEALTHY CHURCH, complete with Robbie in scrubs as we looked at the 10 Characteristics of a healthy church. This week our church body is taking the CHAT (Church health assessment test).

Set List

Opening Prayer --Prayer For A Healthy Church

Love The Lord (Lincoln Brewster) We opened with this one since it was the "text" of the sermon today.

Bless The Lord (Laura Story)  2nd week on this one.  However, we did it in F-Gb (yikes) instead of our "G-Ab" from last week.  Reminder to self--do it in G

Welcome/ Announcements

Missions Moment--Belgium ( We featured my friend Kyle Goen who is going to plant a Sending Church in Belgium in 2011.  Kyle and I have known each other for 17+ years as we served as Ministers of Youth in the same association in the early 1990's.  It sure was good to see his face on the screen today)

Jesus Messiah (Tomlin)  Been a long one since we did this one.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness (Lincoln Brewster)  Great hymn

Morning Message--What Is A Healthy Church?  Robbie Boyd

Here and Now (Paul Baloche, Brenton Brown)  Last time for this one for a while.  I think we really know it by now.

How was your Sunday?

NATIONAL WORSHIP LEADER CONFERENCE-Wednesday Highlights

It's late Wednesday night, and anyone thinking that I'm laying by the pool getting a tan before Family Camp next week is crazy. We leave the hotel about 7:15 AM and get back here around 10PM--so it's a long, long day.

Highlights from today:

Morning worship with Bishop Joseph Garlington--amazing talk (and even more amazing presentatation with his keyboardist accompanying him)

Morning class:  Planning Center- an amazing product and some even more amazing things being added in the furture

Reconnection: with Mike Paslay--Minister of Music at FBC Fayetteville.  Mike and I served together in Johnson Association in early 1990's.

Lunch:  Jason's Deli--I called it early in the day in my twitter

Afternoon:  Some video class.....I forget what it was

Afternoon worship with Rita Springer and Gordon Mac Donald

Supper--Chick-Fil A

Experience:  The Tabernacle---wow!  Do that right before evening worship and I gurantee you'll be filled up.  More posts on this later.  I'm still digesting

Evening Worship:  Don Moen, Gateway Worship, Chris Tomlin and Lincoln Brewster--wow again.

Tomorrow--it's classes again with my new worship/twitter/blogging buddy Fred McKinnon
