Worship Recap 03.27.11

I had trouble sleeping the past two nights. Tossing and turning, just very unsettled. So it was no surprise that I woke up this morning with a stiff neck and a light headache.

My plan was to really shake things up a bit this week using upright bass and the cajon on a couple of songs but all the planning was put on hold when our bass player canceled out this morning.

I had my electric gear which wasn't going to work so I quickly drove back home to collect my acoustic setup and re-arranged the songs in my head while I was driving. We had already lost our mid-week rehearsal and now had a very small pre-service window, so we ran through what we could with piano, acoustic guitar and light percussion.

As I prayed before the service I was drawn to a verse surrender everything in faith and wait on God. So with no time left, instead of trying harder, I trusted.

You already know how this worked out. He always provides what we need. Standing at the mic it isn't always clear how He's working... but He's working.

Worship Recap 03.20.11

We had a wonderfully, spring like, vibrant service this morning. There was a lot of energy and congregational involvement. And two baptisms to top it off.

One of our music missionary's was home on a break and sat in with the band. Thanks Andrew for bringing your spiritually committed heart and musical gifts to the platform this morning. It was a joy to share with you.

At the moment it feels like we're in a fresh state as a team. Rotating players more than ever and stretching some boundaries musically. I'm optimistic about the future, and about the direction of the team.

Thank you Lord for you continual blessings.

Worship Recap 03.13.11

I'm three weeks into a medical condition that can't be diagnosed, and one's mind starts to wander to the wrong places as the days of uncertainty mount up... so I was glad to be in God's presence this morning. It really did a world of good to be in a position of worship and praise.

We got a late start due to the time change no doubt, but rebounded well and found a spiritual place to lead from.

We closed with an old favorite that we hadn't done in forever. We started it off with a traditional verse from an old hymn and allowed the congregation's energy to lift the song up. What a joy!
