Worship Service Brainstorm #3
Feb 15, 2009 Worship Planning
A few months ago I proposed an idea to help worship leaders brainstorm and give ideas for worship services we were working on. The Worship Service Brainstorm is an opportunity for you to help out, give suggestions and ideas, and to gain some ideas and resources.
This weeks worship service brainstorm comes from John Hagge at oursaviorlcms.org.
Here is the information he is working with so far
Date of Service- 3/29/2009
Possible Scriptures: None as yet however given the thought from below it would be from Proverbs or the lessons of the day – series B Jer. 31:31-34 Heb. 5:1-10 & Mark 10:32-45
Title or Topic- Unkown as of yet
Songs- Unknown
Other Elements- I really had hoped to have more info but I plan to discuss this with our youth on Sunday morning and giving them some assignments. BUT one idea that our youth board had was to have (as the sermon) a skit that is a spin off of the TV are you smarter that a fifth grader; only our “show” would be “Are you smarter that a Confirmand?”
So what’s next? Leave your suggestions. Maybe you have a song that would go well, or you have done a skit that would work. Leave links to items posted on your own blog or others. Just get the dialogue going and lets help each other out.

Sunday Setlist 10/05/08
Oct 5, 2008 Worship Planning
This week was a great Sunday. First of all we had a special guest Shelly Wilson, friend of worship leader Kerri Crocker, who sang with us this week. The band learned her song “Thank You For Loving Me” off her new upcoming CD. We have been trying to do more original songs lately, some written by Kerri, some by myself, it was great to have someone and something completely different.
Our Service for October 5th, 2008
Every Body Praise the Lord
Welcome
Let it Rise
In the Secret (acoustic style version)
Children’s Moment
Gods Lenses video
Time of Prayer
Offering- Thank You for Loving Me- by Shelly Wilson
God of Wonders
Sermon- The Cornerstone Rejected

We are in the planning of the service for October 19th which for us will be communion. I’ve posted up the scripture, sermon and our potential songs on my “Worship Brainstorm Session” for this week.
This post is also part of Fred McKinnon’s Sunday Setlist #11. Check it out and see what other churches are doing.

Worship Service Brainstorm #2
Oct 5, 2008 Worship Planning
Last week I started a series called Worship Service Brainstorm. The idea is that you send in your service idea, scripture, topic etc and we will brainstorm and give ideas, videos, song suggestions etc. It is a great way to find some resources you may not have known about before, and a great way to share your own resources with others. Here is this weeks service.
Service Date- October 26, 2008
Sermon Title- How To Live 120 Years
Main Scripture- Deut 34:1-12
Ok.. so where would you go with this?
To submit your own worship service brainstorm click here and fill out this simple form. I will post it up here so others can send in their ideas.

Worship Service Brainstorm #1 Intro
Sep 29, 2008 How To, Worship Planning
One of the coolest things I have done is to sit down with a team and brainstorm about ideas for a worship service. To take a topic or scripture, or point and find creative ideas that help others experience God in a new way. I have done this before in a small team within my own church and it works very well. But I could not help but wonder what would happen if the collaboration not only came from a small group in one church, but from many people around the world. Thoughts and ideas could come not only from one worship tradition but from many traditions, denominations, even countries. As I kept thinking I thought about how to create it so that someone could post the beginning ideas for their service, and then others could suggest songs, videos, skits, stories, other scriptures and worship experiences that could help. Then others could be encouraged and get ideas to use in their own services. Kind of like a global worship planning session.
So here is how it could work.
1. Click here and fill out this simple form which asks some basic information about what service you are planning. Or post your service idea on your own blog and comment here with a link.
2. I will create a post each week for the services and put them on forkintheroadmusic.org
3. Read the post and then share your ideas. Link to ideas on your own blog, or share thoughts about the service that you have. Suggest songs, videos or skits that would be helpful. Please don’t just tell us about a great resource, link to it so we can find it easily.
See, that’s pretty easy. Hopefully we can share tons of ideas and thoughts.
To get started here is the Scripture, Sermon topic and our tentative Songlist for October 12th. What do you suggest?
October 12 -Mt 22:1-14 – Will We go to the Wedding Banquet?
You are Good
Come Ye Sinners*
You are God *
Never Let Go
Crossfire
Echoes- Kerri’s Song
Oh, one final thought. After your service is over then head on to the Sunday Setlists at Fred McKinnon’s site and share how things went.
