Sunday Setlist- 12/07/08

For some reason this week I felt like I just needed to get through. Maybe it was because I woke up feeling dead tired, maybe it was because we were a little less familiar with our song list than we usually are, or maybe because we were missing a drummer and lead vocalist. Unfortunately I [...]

The Worship Community-Engaging Youth in Worship

Sunday Setlist- 11/30/08

Worship went well at Williams this week. We did miss having our regular keyboard player with us which meant I rotated over to keys and we didn’t have much acoustic guitar.

This Sunday clicked for some reason. It was one of those weeks when everything came together inspite of my planning. I really can’t put my finger on why it worked so well, I am just glad it did.

Sunday Setlist 10/05/08

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 [...]

Worship Service Brainstorm #1 Intro

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 [...]

Sunday Setlist 9/28/08

This week was really nothing out of the ordinary. We have begun trying to do songs more frequently so that the congregation can learn and participate better. Before I came the idea was to do new songs that were cool, now we are focusing on congregation participation and songs that fit the theme or message [...]
