Worship Confessional, January 17, 2010

This post is part of Sunday Set Lists over on The Worship Community where you can see what other churches did today in Worship.

Today was a challenge... technically! It was just a plethora of things that you can never anticipate. I haven't had one of these days in a long time and in the midst of it you want to scream. On the back side of it you just want to learn what went wrong and correct it from ever happening again.

Set List:

Your Grace Is Enough (Maher). We love this song.. we really do, but right from the beginning I could tell something was wrong. Turns out that the Key correction we made in rehearsal was reversed (we had it printed in A, but I wanted it in G--but we went back to A, but played it in G) Train wreck with the trax! I didn't know what happened until the break in the songs. People just were looking at me like Deers into the headlines. I felt like a cheerleader leading a new cheer.

Awesome Is The Lord (Tomlin) We got back on track on this one (Literally, the trax worked on this one)

Welcome/Announcements/ Prayer Focus on Haiti and the Americas)

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) Worship Choir

Do It Lord (Tommy Walker) Second week on this songs... I love it and the Praise team and choir love it...may take a while for the congregation to really own it.

You Are My King (Foote)---old standby that made us feel comfortable again.

Message--The Purpose of The Church
This is the second week that we've had Battery issues on Ed's mic. Last week it was dead and this week it was dying (clip, clip, clip). I had to sneak up in his prayer and take is module away and give him my mic. Nothing like a short bald man sneaking up on the pastor during his prayer. Anyway--frustrating! My new mantra is EVERY BATTERY EVERY WEEK from now on. It's just got to become part of our discipline.

How Great Is Our God (Tomlin)--enough said!

Introduction of New Members!

So--how was your Sunday?

Worship Confessional, January 10, 2010

This post is part of Sunday Set List over on Fred McKinnon's blog

This is the second week of THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH. All of this is very important to us as a church while we are working towards the calling of our new Pastor in 2010.

Set List
BRETHREN WE HAVE MET TO WORSHIP (G3 Worship)--Standard hymn for us, but felt it was the right one as we learned last week that the church on Sunday morning is the CHURCH GATHERED and when we leave, we are the CHURCH SCATTERED

MADE TO WORSHIP (Praise Charts)---long time since we did this one. It was good to revisit it and it went to the heart of the message today.
Welcome/Announcements/ MISSION FOCUS TODAY (AFRICA)









Offertory Music-Judy Brown

DO IT LORD (Tommy Walker) I heard this song last Spring on Travis Cottrell's album and then again this summer on Tommy Walker's album at National Worship Leader conference. It has become a regular on my ipod and has become the prayer I pray for my church as I run. It's so prophetic.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY (Hymn Charts)

Morning Message--THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH (Ed Ethridge)

Response---just the chorus of TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Out--- DO IT LORD (3rd verse "I see the church rising up in power....)

How was your Sunday?

Publisher's Clearing House Winner--Not, but I did Win Something Big!

I've always dreamed of the day when my name would be called in the Publisher's Clearing House Giveaway. I secretly selected which house I wanted, which car and how much cash as I licked and affixed those stamps to the document. But I never won.

However, today was a different day. I was sitting at lunch when I got a Tweet from Fred McKinnon that said

"YOU WON! You won the registration to the National Worship Leader Conference in Kansas (off my blog). Send me email addy"

I shot back "No way!" but it was real. I have won a registration to the National convention in Kanas City in July! Awesome!

Fred will be there; so will Kendall, my blog friend from Hamlin and many more.

What a cool way to start a Monday!
