Yesterday was our 16th Annual OMPC Christmas service.  This year's service was entitled "Say Something." I'm not posting my typical recap - but check back later this week for videos from yesterday.  The service included tunes from Matt Redman, Lauren Daigle, Kathryn Scott, Matt Maher, Christy Nockels and Michael W Smith.  It included 98 choir members, an 8 piece band, orchestral sequences, and original video produced by Wes Smith and Michael Southerland. Again - check back on Thursday for videos from yesterday!

Yesterday was the 1st Sunday of Advent, and one of our "not-so-normal" worship sets at OMPC.  Every once in a while I like to have fiddle, acoustic, hollow-body bass and perc (along with piano) to change up our style.  We still stick to our normal programming but the instrumental context is a tad more relaxed.  Lots of fun to play with those fine musicians! We opened yesterday with All Who Are Thirsty After the call to worship we sang Relentless, Come Thou Long Expected Jesus, Great Are You Lord, O Come Emmanuel and Waiting Here For You Our offering song was Love Came Down by…

We opened yesterday with Hosanna - with the line "Come have Your way among us - we welcome You here Lord Jesus" After the call to worship we sang This is Amazing Grace, Search Me, To Him and Before the Throne of God Above Our offering song…

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving week.  Don't talk about politics.  Just avoid the subject altogether.  It'll make the turkey taste better, I promise.

They opened yesterday with Blessed Be Your Name After the call to worship they sang Lion and the Lamb, Holy is the Lord, Jesus Only Jesus and Good Good Father The offering song was What a Beautiful Name It's never too late to join us in choir for Christmas!  We don't have rehearsal this week, but join…
