Sunday Setlist 9-27

We started off the morning with "Come, Now is the Time to Worship" (Doerksen) and segued into the chorus of "You're Worthy of my Praise" (Ruis). We had planned to introduce "I Will Boast" by Paul Baloche, but I didn't have full voice due to a sinus infection, so we punted at the last minute.

Some of the ladies on our worship team started their own team a couple years ago to lead worship at our Women's Retreat and they led an "unplugged" rest of the set up to the sermon with:

"When I Speak Your Name" (Clark, Kuehn)

"Breathe" (Barnett)

"Jesus, Lover of my Soul" (Hillsong)

"Peace" (was not familiar with this and don't know the author)

We closed out the service with the full version of "You're Worthy of my Praise".

Sunday Setlist 9-20

Today was one of those "fear & trepidation" Sundays because we installed a new DigiDesign Venue digital sound board last week (amazing what this thing can do) and it was our first Sunday to go live. We worked out most of those kinks at a rehearsal last Weds night, but there was still some concern about how it would all go. It actually turned out really well. We still have some things to work through, but there were no major issues that shut down or interrupted the service. Thank you Lord!

Choir opened with "Let the Worshippers Arise"

Segued into "Shout to the Lord"

-Welcome-

"Everlasting God" (L. Brewster arrangement - w/o the guitar shredding)

"Your Name" (Baloche)

"The River" (B. Doerksen) This was our prayer ministry time

-Offering-

"Great is Thy Faithfulness" (trad. arr.)

-Sermon-

Closed with "You are Holy (Prince of Peace)" (Imboden/Rhoten - MWS arr.)

Sunday Setlist August 30th

I was excited about today's worship service because we filled the electric guitar "hole" that has been there for several months (we've had a very talented supply guitarist pop in on occasion, but nothing steady). And it was a good thing because we kicked off the service with Lincoln Brewster's arrangement of "Everlasting God" and moved right into Paul Baloche's arrangement of "How Great Thou Art" and then launched into the chorus of "How Great is our God" to finish the set (actually ended back on "How Great Thou Art" acapella).
After a welcome time we sang "Revelation Song" which our people love (who doesn't?) and then moved into our prayer ministry time with Michael & Lisa Gungor's "Filled with Glory". Another favorite song for our people is Tony Guerrero's "How Great You Are" which took us into the sermon. We ended the service with Billy Foote's arrangement of "Sing to the King".
It was a good day in the house of the Lord!

Sunday Setlist 8-16

Sunday morning was another great day of worship for our church.

Our choir opened with a great song called "Come & Worship" and really set the tone for worship. The we opened with an original tune I wrote over a year ago called "To Him Be the Glory" based on Eph. 3 (Now to Him who is able to do more abundantly than we ask or think...). It's a 6/8 tune in E and so we went straight into Tomlin's "Famous One" and followed up with the chorus of "Offering" by Baloche.

After a welcome time we continued with "Mighty to Save" and then segued into "Healer" for our prayer ministry time.

Our pastor has been preaching a series called "Loving God. Discovering Your Spiritual Pathways." and the sermon was on "Loving God through Caring for Others". All week I just kept thinking of an old Maranatha chorus called "Make me a Servant" by Kelly Willard, so we sang that unplugged (piano only) just before the sermon.

We closed the service with "Our God Saves" by Baloche.

It was a great morning of worship and I was pleased with how everything went.

Part of Sunday Setlists. Come share yours.

Memorial Day Weekend

What a great weekend! We left Thursday evening and drove to the in-laws in Burleson, TX. Slept in Friday morning and then decided to go see the 1:00pm showing of "Night at the Museum" #2. It was a good little flick. We ate a late lunch at a hamburger dive (very good homemade patty burgers) with "frings" (fries and rings) and then headed over to the Freestyle Skate Park in Kennedale and watched the boys skateboard and rollerblade. Tyler is getting really good on his skateboard and Austin took the dare and "dropped in" on some serious half pipes with his rollerblades! After a quick trip back to the in-laws to change sweaty clothes we went over to my Moms and hung out with her, then got some yumminess from the Marble Slab.

On Saturday we had a nice breakfast with the in-laws and then celebrated my father-in-law's birthday with a big late lunch and played some badminton in the backyard.

After driving home I had to run up to the church and take care of some last minute preparation for the Sunday service and then came back home to make a quick video for our summer mission trip.

Sunday morning turned out to be a great day. We had special guests "Shiloh" (a Phillips, Craig and Dean-sounding trio from the Dallas area), so we didn't have much to rehearse with the worship team, which made for a very relaxed "pre-service". Our Classic service sang quite a few congregational hymns, we prayed for families who had lost loved ones in the military as well as our active-duty servicemen and women. "Shiloh" then led in some great worship starting with "Favorite Song of All", an awesome rendition of the Nat'l Anthem, "Proud to be an American", and ended with "He Touched Me".
In the contemporary service we started off the service with Michael W. Smith's "A New Hallelujah", prayed for our military and then had our own prayer ministry time with Tommy Walker's "Break Through." Shiloh sang again, but changed the last couple songs to "Days of Elijah" and "I Bowed On my Knees and Cried Holy" with backup from our worship team. We ended the service with a song called "Glory" by Reuben Morgan from Hillsong.
We ate lunch with the guys from Shiloh and after seeing them off relaxed at home. Holly went to spend the night with a friend in Houston, so the boys and I headed off to our favorite boy eatery "Buffalo Wild Wings" and then came home and watched a movie.
So far Memorial Day Monday has been very quiet because the boys are still asleep and Holly isn't home yet!

Sunday Setlist

After last Sunday off for a vacation, it was good to be back with the worship team and our worshipping church!
Here's the set list from our contemporary service:

• Sweeter (Ratcliffe, Houghton)
  
• To Him be the Glory (Ray)
• Offering (Baloche)
• Come, Now is the Time to Worship (Doerksen)
• Filled with Glory (Gungor)
• Amazing Grace (Chains) - (Newton, arr. Tomlin)
  
• Friend of God (Houghton, Gungor)

We were missing electric guitar and had a fill-in bassist (my son!), but it sounded really good from my vantage point.
