Sunday Retrospectives
Sunday Retrospective - July 20, 2008
We arrived home from Ormond Beach around 7pm or so Saturday night. I came over to the church to get the stage set up and make sure everything was plugged in, so we could be ready to go Sunday morning.
Since we were out of town last week, there was no rehearsal. On weeks like this, […]
Sunday Retrospective - July 6, 2008
We played “unplugged” yesterday…rolled the baby grand onstage, used congas / djembe for percussion, and violin. Not totally unplugged, ’cause we did have synth as well for some audible meat.
Because of the instrumentation, the music had a laid-back feel. Our setlist (links to iTunes where available):
Come, Worship The King (Sonny Lallerstedt) - Recorded by Michael […]
Sunday Retrospective - June 29, 2008
The fifth Sunday of June. Months with five Sundays always feel strange to me by the time the fifth one rolls around.
We used a small vocal ensemble (10 voices) to lead worship today, rather than individuals on microphones. I like the change in energy. Drums, bass, acoustic guitar, and two keyboards rounded out the praise […]
Sunday Retrospective - June 22, 2008
We had a very good morning. Anthony came to lead with us on acoustic guitar. We didn’t have a clear idea on what Harold (one of our elders) was preaching about, but it ended up being one of those cool mornings when God knew, and the songs set up his message perfectly.
Our worship set:
Open The […]
Sunday Retrospective - June 15, 2008
We had to call an audible this morning. Our fine bass player had to cancel because of swelling in his arm.
Our first song was going to be Chris Tomlin’s “Let God Arise”, which is pretty much driven by the bass line. So we couldn’t do it without one.
Anna suggested we replace it with Lincoln Brewster’s […]
Sunday Retrospective - June 8, 2008
Planning for yesterday involved one of those weeks where you just sit and stare at the song list. It looks okay, but something…just…isn’t…right. Move them around a bit. Pray. Add one, subtract one. Pray. Go back to where you started. Pray.
Then we decided to move the sermon earlier, and have an extended time of worship […]
Sunday Retrospective - June 1, 2008
The beginning of June…unbelievable. It just keeps going faster and faster.
We had a really good service. We usually do communion on the first Sunday of the month…and usually at the end of the service. Yesterday, we had communion as part of the beginning worship set. Here’s what we did:
Majestic (Lincoln Brewster)
A Thousand Hallelujahs (Mark […]
Sunday Retrospective - May 25, 2008
Turned out to be a pretty interesting Sunday morning.
We had our annual “Senior Salute”…the graduating seniors processed in and were honored. Then we had a quick video about one of our youth going on the mission field.
At this point, we were going to go into our five song worship set. But…
We’ve been fielding complaints for […]
