This was another good week at Williams Memorial UMC and the Xperience service. It was Communion Sunday for us and we also had a baptism during the service. So the church celebrated it’s newest member and the Lord’s supper all on the same morning.
Oh.. the sound problems were greatly reduced… actually had no problems at all this week. The guy who installs our stuff came by and set the squelch.. turns out that was the biggest problem. We also bought some padded room dividers and put them along the back of our room. We meet in a cafetorium style meeting room with flat walls and a concrete floor. So the dividers helped alot.
We were missing our keyboard player, and a few vocalists.. so the mix was different but it worked well.
Here are the songs with itunes links
My Savior Lives- This was the first time for us to try this song. We introduced it at the beginning of the service and will start working it into our set in future Sundays.
Meet With Me- This is just one of those songs for our congregation that I can start and they will sing and I can back away and listen to the congregation. I introduced it to them only 2 years ago.
I Stand Amazed- Two things about this song. Somehow it ended up during the offering (when everyone is sitting down) so It felt kinda weird singing I STAND Amazed while seated.. the other thing is we were confused as to whether we were ending on the 4 chord or the 1 chord… Oh well… it worked
Breathe- We did this with nothing but piano and vocal. Kerri sang great and I added a little harmony. We used this as our song during communion.
Our Great God- At my last church someone handed me a CD of some random tunes and this one was on there. From that point on I have LOVED this song. I introduced it to my current congregation during Christmas and used the words to the hymn Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night for the lyrics and then used the normal chorus. Worked awesome.
Oh.. since our liturgical reading included Psalm 139 we used this video from igniter media group.
And that’s just what we did this Sunday. Be sure and check out what others did on Fred McKinnon’s Sunday Setlist Worship Carnival #26

Breathe with just a piano and two voices. Perfect.
Lol! I guess that would seem a little funny to sing “I STAND Amazed” while sitting.
“Our Great God” I haven’t heard that one I’ll have to check it out.
