Weekend Review 09-1314-08
Not quite the best of both worlds. It was a great weekend. We had a full band, which is fantastic. We also had a group of people who really wanted to do the music correctly which is also great. However, since we haven’t started up our midweek rehearsals yet, all of our rehearsal time was eaten up on working the songs and not the transitions, so there were a couple of spots that were rough in the service. Aside from that, however, it was a great weekend.
The songs worked really well with the theme. Center by Charlie Hall worked really well lyrically, but for some reason it seems to lack the luster I’m hoping for with it. I’m going to have to do some more evaluation as to why that might be.
We started a new series this weekend, so that was exciting too. It’s called church 1.0. We’re talking about the basic essentials of being a church. It’s based Acts 2.
Here was our set list:
- In the Secret
- Everyday
- Series Intro by Senior Pastor
- Center
- Everlasting God
- Sermon
- Announcements & Closing Prayer
- Breathe
The announcements have actually been working at the end of the service. We’ve done that before, and it’s felt really unnatural, but the last two weekends they have worked well there.












Yeah, we’ve been doing the announcements at the end for awhile now, and it seems to work well. The only announcement we do at the beginning is to advise first-timers that we have Connect Cards in the pews that they can fill out, if they’d like more info.

Excellent list! In the Secret is one of my favorites (I assume it’s the David Ruis?) along with Breathe. I haven’t tackled Center yet. It’s in our rotation, but I haven’t selected it when I’m leading. Everlasting God is a favorite of the fellowship. Thanks for sharing.
set list looks awesome. how do the transitions work with coming in and out of songs like that?
we started doing announcements before and after service…no one really pays attention until the end.
we switched our announcements to the end as well. we like it.
