Worship : 10 May 2009

« Back to blog

This post is part of the weekly Sunday Setlists blog carnival over at FredMckinnon.com. Make sure you check out the other setlists too! Happy Mothers Day! Every mother (including the expectant ones) in the church were given flowers and a small gift today, and individually prayed for and honoured in front of the church. Beautiful. This week had a feeling of anticipation...and with good reason...Dr Jerry Savelle is coming this Friday. Our board meeting last week was a very exciting place to be as we worked through all the logistics (no, really...it was great). Today was our final message on Training For Reigning, and it was a great message, with me taking a few notes for song seeds. We'll see where they end up in the coming weeks. Music Sunday AM 1. You Deserve (Crocker, Dunlop/Hillsong) 2. Run (Houston/Hillsong) 3. To Meet You Here (Goodwin, Scarpato/Harbourside) 4. Where You Go, I'll Go (Johnson, Mohr/Bethel) While the praise was good, the worship was amazing today...To Meet You Here, which we haven't done for a few weeks, really struck a chord with the congregation, and I could hear them singing above the band at times (which I love). Where You Go, I'll Go has very quickly become a new congregation favourite, and watching the people worship wholeheartedly is really rewarding for me as the music direction. Oh, and I was back leading today too. Sunday PM 1. I'm Not Ashamed (Andrew, Thomas/Hillsong) 2. Stronger (Morgan, Fielding/Hillsong) 3. For Your Glory (Pringle/C3) ...and... 4. More Than Life (Morgan/Hillsong) 5. Fire Fall Down (Sampson/Hillsong) 6. Awesome God/Perfect Son (Mullins + Reddy /Hillsong) Merv led tonight, and is getting better and better both as a leader and a singer. Love that. The evening finished in truly awesome style with the firm favourite Awesome God mashed with our own rap Perfect Son, and then the some free-style rap praise. Gotta say, I love seeing grandmothers getting their praise on to rock-rap. I'm really looking forward to recording this song later in the year. The Attempt At Joy-Stealing Our church services are shown on TV in Sydney & Melbourne, which involves them being recorded on 3 cameras and then the masterful Diane creating a few 25 minute TV programs from the sermons. This morning, the cameras stopped working while the worship team was rehearsing, and none of our enthusiastic band of amateurs could get it sorted. I didn't get a chance to have a look since I was on stage (and I'm no expert in this anyway, believe me), but suffice to say, there was no recording of the message this morning. That also meant our usual projection of the service to the creche, parent's room and cafe areas couldn't happen either. A few things were said in the heat of the moment which hurt a few people - and I'm not saying who on either count, just that it wasn't me - but long story short, we (Diane and I) spent the time between services troubleshooting so that it would work for tonight. And it did. I'm also not putting here what the problem was - suffice to say the word 'numpty' sprang to mind a few times. *clenchedteethgrin* "All things work together for my good" - I grabbed those words today and held on tight. And you know, it's true. Praise God! What did you get up to this weekend ?
