2011. Wowzer. It goes by faster and faster every year.We only had one service yesterday - and i love the packed house. It's great to see all the faces at once, and hear all the singing...We opened with Come Ye Sinners - which is ending up being one of my favorite hymn re-writes.After our call to worship we sang Because of Your Love, Our God Saves, O Worship the King, and How Deep the Father's Love for Us.

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – December 26, 2010

setlists
Two recaps today - one for our Christmas Eve service - and one for yesterday - Sunday the 26th.Our Christmas Eve service has developed into quite the tradition.

From Sunday Dec 12

audio clips
Just a rough mix from the song we closed with - Ronnie Freeman's Ring the Bells.I counted things up, and figure at the end of the song we had about 170 voices, 11 different vocal parts, 9 band members, and 3 technicians making the final product.http://dl.dropbox.com/u/87743143/JS%20Blog/Site/Flash_Stuff_files/player.swf

Yesterday was the 4th Sunday of Advent. We opened with Love is Here. After our call to worship we sang Angels We Have Heard on High, Amazing God, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Holy is the Lord, and It Came Upon a Midnight Clear. Our offering song was a fantastic rendition of Michael McDonald's Peace - by Carlee Means. For Communion, Mandy Sears sang Perfect Peace,…
