setlists

Today was the 2nd Sunday of Advent - the Bethlehem candle, which signifies our preparation for Christ.  I love Micah 5:2 - where God calls out Bethlehem - too small to be one of the clans of Judah - yet out of her will be born the King to rule all....  As WE prepare for Christ - where is God calling you to rest in the simple, the mundane, the ordinary - as He uses you to call others to prepare for Christ?We opened yesterday with Everlasting God.After our call to worship we sang You Lifted Me Out, O Come…

I failed to get the setlist up yesterday because, well.... it's Christmastime, and quite busy around here! We're rapidly approaching our December 13th Christmas service - Waiting.  Be sure and join us for both morning services - 8:15 and 10:45.We opened Sunday with All Who Are Thirsty.As usual, here at OMPC in the season of Advent, we continue to sing praise songs, interspersed with carols... but the praise songs have specific texts that can take on a whole new, richer meaning if set in the context of Advent - the expected coming of Jesus.After our call to worship we sang Relentless,…

Yesterday was our final Sunday before the start of Advent, which begins next Sunday.  The idea behind the flow and text of our worship was to highlight the magnificent, almighty, matchless name of Christ - with the heavenly attributes that the saints and angels sing of, in order to contrast that with the simplicity of His arrival - a birth in a manger under the stars.We opened yesterday with Awake My Soul.After our call to worship we sang Lay Me Down, I Am, To Him, and No Other NameOur offering song was Mercy from Matt Redman - which i introduced a…

We had another Choir Sunday yesterday.... I love the multiple opportunities that having a choir affords a worship ministry.  It allows more people to get involved, increases the community aspect of the ministry, and injects so much more vocal energy into leading a congregation...We opened yesterday with Here For You.After our call to worship we sang Joyful, Revelation Song, Lord I Need You, and How Deep the Father's Love for Us.Our offering song was At the Cross (Love Ran Red).

Only a few more weeks and we'll be well into our Advent season.  But it's still never too late to join choir!  If you're interested - come check us out on Wednesday nights from 6-7, downstairs in the choir room.  We have drinks, snacks, and childcare, and NO singing experience is necessary.  It's a great community group and time of fellowship.  Come join us!We opened yesterday with The Church's One Foundation.After our call to worship we sang Let Us Return, How He Loves, There is a Fountain, and Breathe.Our offering song was a new tune from Matt Redman called Mercy.

We wrapped up our final sermon in the "Life in the Fast Lane" series yesterday, as well as our stewardship sermon series...In just a few weeks, we'll be hanging Christmas decor, and getting ready for the 2015 Advent season. Be sure and join us for Sunday morning - Dec 13th as we have our special Christmas worship service "Waiting..."We opened yesterday with Relentless.After our call to worship we sang Your Grace is Enough, Hosanna (Hillsong), Your Grace Finds Me, and I Stand Amazed.Our offering song was This I Believe (the Creed).

We had another choir Sunday yesterday - always me favorite Sundays, being able to involve so many folks in worship leadership.  It's a great community and a great group that loves and cares for each other, and the worship of OMPC.We opened with Let Creation Sing.After our call to worship we sang This is Amazing Grace, Give to Our God Immortal Praise, Jesus Only Jesus, and Holy.Our offering song was Let It Be Jesus - led by Carlee Green.

Yesterday was one of our "not your typical OMPC worship style" Sundays, with fiddle, hollow bass, acoustic, and piano.  I always love switching it up every once in a while.We opened with Our God Saves.After our call to worship we sang I Am, Come Thou Fount, Blessed Be Your Name, and O Love That Will Not Let Me Go.Our offering song was Because He Lives.

Jenny Pruitt led worship for me this past Sunday while we were out of town. Always good to get away from time to time - but I certainly love coming home and getting to lead worship with this wonderful bunch.They opened last Sunday with Come Ye Sinners.After the call to worship they sang Hosanna, The Stand, In Christ Alone, and Center.Be sure and join us in choir as we continue to prepare for our upcoming Christmas Worship service on Dec 13...
