Worship : 28 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! A big day...probably not bigger than normal, but Diane and I had a big theological/doctrinal discussion between the services which made the 4 hours in between feel like about 4 minutes. But I'm not gonna go into that here. You've all got lives, and we often have theological &/or doctrinal discussions - they just don't usually effectively last all day. ;) Both services continued our "Let The Word Do The Work" series. Diane noted with the editing that needs to be done for the TV program, this series could well end up getting into double-digits by the time it makes the small screen. Music Sunday AM 1. Can I Have More Of You? (Byrnes) 2. Let God Arise (Tomlin, Reeves, Cash) 3. Lord Of Lords (Fraser / Hillsong) 4. He Is Lord (Fielding / Hillsong) ...then following tithes, offerings, news... 5. Let God Arise (reprise) ...and for the ministry/end of service 6. He Is Lord (reprise) Rachael led today, and did a good job. She's now rostered on to lead once per month, which means that in most months, each of the worship leaders will lead once per month. But back to the music. The transition between the first and second songs was particularly seamless (as I've noted in the past, transitions are something we do well...this one was just really nice, where we started the drum roll which opens Let God Arise as the closing beat for Can I Have More Of You...it drew lots of appreciation from the congregation, and I enjoyed it as it's good to keep trying new arrangement tweaks; often transitions provide great opportunities to do this.) He Is Lord was new for us, and the people worshipped freely and openly, as it is definitely one of the most loved songs from Hillsong's 2008 album This Is Our God. Loved by our congregation anyway. Sunday PM 1. Tell The World (Douglass, Houston, Sampson / Hillsong) 2. Show Me Your Glory (Murgida / Harbourside) ...then following tithes, offerings, news... 3. Who Tha King? (Reddy, Losurdo, Costello / Harbourside) Troy led tonight, and the undoubted highlight was the new rap the youth had put together based on a poem/declaration written by our pastor. It. was. hot, and reminiscent of Run DMC's Down With The King album (and the drums were more than a little like their Walk This Way fusion as well) It will definitely make its way on to our album. A friend noted our album is going to be very varied. It sure is, but that accurately reflects our church too. Hyper eclectic. Worship+ 1. Stronger (Morgan / Hillsong) 2. You Are Here (The Same Power) (Pankratz, George / Hillsong) 3. Who Tha King? (reprise) Short and sweet tonight as the message went a fair bit longer than our evening services often do (though I had no idea at the time - it didn't feel long), it was still a great time of soaking worship with all of the singers taking turns leading...though Troy's voice was spent by the time of the rap reprise, so we danced for that instead. Lots of fun. Other Stuff Half way through the practice/soundcheck this morning, it became evident there was a problem with front of house sound. That problem was that there was no sound. Oh dear. Turns out there was a 'problem' with the digital processing unit. I quickly did some bypass wiring to get sound in some of the FOH speakers, emailed my company's database to release an unlock code for me for the unit, and spent some time after the service resetting and getting the wires back in place. Potential for being frazzled and stressed was nicely averted by the confidence I knew I could (a) rig up a suitable alternative, and (b) ultimately fix the problem. What did the weekend hold for you ?
