Monday morning recap for Sunday – Feb. 15, 2009

setlists
Greetings to my mom, and the 5 others that read this blog.I thought it may be helpful to start posting past worship orders, since we've done away with the bulletins. Sunday - Feb 15, 2009 - We opened with "Let God Arise," by Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves, and Ed Cash.After our call to worship, we sang Beautiful One, Mighty to Save, and Breathe. For our offering song, we sang a new tune called "Amazing God," by Brenton Brown (same guy that wrote Everlasting God). If you're a worship leader and DON'T subscribe to Worship Leader magazine - do so today.…

Friday Favorites
I'm reading the Bible this year according to this Bible reading plan which is great - as it has a passage from the OT, a psalm, a gospel reading, and a reading from Acts - and progressing forward. Last year it was the Daily Bible - which was nice, but it goes in chronological order, and this different plan offers a bit of variety in the readings.Anyway - i was struck by a passage in Matthew the other day - Jesus was walking on water.

Hillsong Kids

Friday Favorites, videos
We use some Hillsong Kids tunes for our Children's Worship program at church. They're very well done - engaging for the kids, and communicate worship truths. Needless to say, they get played quite a bit in the Sears home, and my oldest decided to do his own promo for them . . . I'm almost positive this was unsolicited!http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAABqQx1oQmSnIaATdhug8I962XbxEmedcyG6R_eLWYLt5_PvTvgbU_vyRv9bZRRt2jwxTIZ8wKHic0nRWnDx4vFqZ8CXhTyM8ndpmAA5B47yd5Hd_KgGAV-GneSV8n5tETz1d4FExEqkzJo8F1K8YP6rAf3gU9E8eS0xv3bzJhRNOhzw0DZVTSNO792tZmc0exC-_19bgOE88-OLXVvYFud9sVYip46vpBlnGITIOZOFC%26sigh%3DgbtE-HbMQpsh5W-u9CzJoY5LytE%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Db78058adcbcd3b18%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3Duqb_MCmg6lZFXBkRKFFLWdr3SJw&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den

What if we did this for a worship service

Friday Favorites, videos
This guy Mark Johnson travelled around the globe and recorded different folks singing and playing the same tune - then edited it together for this film.What if we could do this realtime for a worship service - have a few different countries, all playing the same song, piped together on some fiber network, broadcast to the nations . . . hmm.[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us-TVg40ExM&hl=en&fs=1]
