This was one of those weekends where I left the service wondering what went right. Of course it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was, but it sure felt like it. It seemed like we just couldn’t get on the same page. It wasn’t that we were fighting each other in tempo or stylistically or anything like that. There was just something that wasn’t right.

On “Give it all Away” our acoustic player just couldn’t seem to keep up with the tempo of the song, especially during the introduction. Which is a problem considering the song is supposed to be acoustic driven. So we had to change the introduction up, but we still weren’t together during the intro after we had changed it.

I made several other mistakes. We didn’t have a midweek rehearsal because of some work related issues for people. In hindsight, I realize I should have had rehearsal even if it was just me and one other person.

Oh well, can’t win em all right? I talked with some people after the service and they didn’t notice the problems like I did. So, hopefully the problems we had weren’t too noticeable to most. The biggest thing for me is to not be a distraction. I don’t want to be the reason someone doesn’t connect with God.

Here was our set:

Meet Us Here – Mike Honholtz
Welcome
Sermon Intro Video
Give it All away – Aaron Schust
Run for the Hungry Presentation
Hungry – Kathrynn Scott
Glory in the Highest – Chris Tomlin
Message
Enough- Chris Tomlin

I’m trying to remember the last weekend we didn’t do a Chris Tomlin Song.

Hey, it’s usually the case when we think it’s awful, and most of the people don’t notice. Glad it pulled off OK. As for the CT songs, we did “How Great”, so we’re in there w/ ya!

For the Kingdom,

Bummer. Just posted a comment that was intended to be encouraging, but it got wiped out due to my negligence.

Anyhow, I totally get the “I do not want to be a distraction” thing. I’m not sure if I take it harder when I’m the one who has the issues, or if it’s something that’s out of my control, like feedback or the drummer & percussion player being out of sync (or the acoustic guitar, like you mentioned).

We’ve been on a run of Paul Baloche tunes lately, similar to your Tomlin run.

Keep your eyes up, chin up, heart up, and all that! May God send someone to you this week to let you know that they were able to use the music you guys presented as a vehicle of worship.

Sounds like lots of people were struggling with various issues this week. We nixed rehearsal due to some construction that was supposed to be done on stage, so I had to alter the list from what I wanted to do. ??? Maybe God had other plans. Hungry is a great song from a great CD.
