Worship : 14 June 2009

« Back to blog

This post is part of the weekly Sunday Setlists blog carnival over at FredMckinnon.com. Go and check out the other setlists too! Amazing how missing a week in your home church makes you so hungry to be back there when it really is home. And it is home. We started a new series of AM messages titled "Let The Word Do The Work", so over the past few weeks we've also been playing some of the awesome gospel stylings of Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers before and after the meetings. If you look up iTunes you'll find him, and we've been playing his 2009 album The Law Of Confession, Part 1. (I can only link to the Aussie iTunes store...which isn't much use for most of you who read this...so I haven't done it. I'm sure you'll cope.) Good good stuff, and so far removed from what we could achieve in our team with our whiter-than-whiteness for most of the team. Oh, and part 1 of the message series was great too - looking forward to the rest! The PM service was about debt cancellation, and was both informative and inspirational. A good thing. Music Sunday AM 1. Break Free (Houston, Ligertwood Crocker / Hillsong) 2. No One Like You (David Crowder*Band) 3. To Meet You Here (Scarpato, Goodwin / Harbourside) 4. This Is Our God (Morgan / Hillsong) ...then following tithes, offerings, news... 5. Now Is The Time (Delirious?) ...and for the ministry/end of service 6. This Is Our God (Morgan / Hillsong) 7. Run (Houston / Hillsong) I was leading again for the first time in three weeks, and it was good fun. I muffed some lyrics in No One Like You, and the drummer set the tempo at about 2 gazillion BPM, but it was still hilariously fun and the congregation are continuing to love this song. The slow songs today were particularly sweet - we had some solid 5 part harmony again, and a virtually acapella chorus in "To Meet You Here" - and I've mentioned it before, but I'm looking forward to when we record this song. Talking of recording, I played the team the rough mix from Saturday's recording session of "Redeemer". Everyone was as excited as I was with the result, and Margaret (the writer and lead vocalist) said it's just as she imagined it when she wrote it. We did some very cool choir things in the studio that have come out really sweetly. Two tracks down, and this novice producer is very happy :) Sunday PM 1. Tell The World (Douglass, Houston, Sampson / Hillsong) 2. Hosanna (Fraser / Hillsong) ...then following tithes, offerings, news... 3. Say So (Houghton, Gungor) ...and then for Worship+ after the service 4. Awesome God / Perfect Son (Mullins, Reddy / Harbourside) 5. Stronger (Morgan, Fielding / Hillsong) 6. More Than Life (Morgan / Hillsong) 7. For Your Glory (Pringle / C3) Julie led again tonight, and as I mentioned last time, she's 15. However, even more exciting was seeing 13 year old Matil do a stunning job song leading for "Hosanna". Blown away. Troy led for Worship+, and did a great job as always. Other Stuff For the meet & greet fill-in riff, the team tonight played Men at Work's "Down Under". Very funny, since none of them were even born when it came out. Of course, our former rock band leader pastor started singing it, including the "where women glow and men chunder line"...naturally. Very very funny. He even finished by saying "ok, now let's get back to holy". Ha! Our pastor also talked to Diane at length about a possible ministry opportunity which might be coming up. It would be a paid position. This is unfathomably exciting, but I'll leave her to share (or not share) further details at this stage...(btw, you should know that she's far more likely not to share anything) How about your weekend ?
