A networking resource for all worship leaders and worship team members, serving as a catalyst to facilitate better worship in the local church
What a great way to start the new year. At least I think so! Our band did awesome this weekend, especially this morning. We had our A game on this weekend. And considering we didn’t have practice because of Holiday vacations, it was fantastic.
We focused our worship time around what might be my goal for our congregation this year, to take advantage of every opportunity we are given to worship. That we will rejoice daily in our savior, that we will boast in him, that we wouldn’t be lazy or selfish
I had the privilege of doing communion this morning, which I’ve only done one other time since I’ve been here. I botched it up last night, but I think I did a much better job this morning. I talked about Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding, and contrasted that with the cup of the new covenant between Jesus our Groom and the church His bride.
Here was our set:
This last song is one that I wrote a few years ago for a sermon our pastor did at our last church from the book of Colossians. It turned out to be a perfect fit for this sermon in the book of Ephesians. This is the first time in my life I’ve done more than one of my own songs in a worship service. Felt kind of weird, almost like I was trying to get attention. It just worked out that the two songs we did worked really well. Oh well.

I feel like it’s been years since I last did a weekend review. Ah the joys of the Christmas season.
This weekend is one of the first times I feel like we didn’t drop the ball the weekend after Christmas. It seems like every year after Christmas and Easter, we’re always scrambling to get a band together and to get the music worked out, etc., but I didn’t feel like that was the case this year. We had a full band, with not missing components, we had solid vocals and we were able to get the arrangements worked out. Last night had a few wrinkles, but today was pretty good.
Here was our set:
Our transitions weren’t exactly smooth, though they were better for this morning’s service. Other than that, things went pretty well. For more weekend reviews check out Sunday Setlists @ Fred’s Place.
Ahh, the weekend after Thanksgiving. When people are out of town and the people who are there still have a Thanksgiving – too much turkey – hangover.
This weekend, our pastor was talking about the Holy Spirit, which is something we almost never talk about. And since we never talk about it, we also haven’t really introduced any songs in the past that are related to the Holy Spirit. So, unfortunately for some of the members of our band, we did 3 hymns that all talk about the spirit somewhere in the song.
Here was our Set:
We’re still in our BE series, but we kind of finished up a mini-series within the series on the trinity, so I thought it would be fitting to close the service by singing about the entire trinity, for which Holy, Holy, Holy was the perfict fit.
