setlists

It was great to be away, and great to be back with OMPC yesterday.  It's VBS week - which means we had our VBS decor on the stage - always interesting to lead worship with a jungle backdrop!We opened yesterday with White Flag.After our call to worship we sang Let God Arise, Come Thou Fount, Oceans, and Be Thou My Vision.Our offering song was Love is War.

The choir led in worship yesterday.  I love choir Sundays.  Such a great way for so many people to be involved in leading in worship.Choir will be taking a break for a few weeks as we enter the summer months, and we'll resume in August.  We also have our 12th annual Bullfrog Choir on Sunday July 26th.We opened yesterday with Let Creation Sing.After our call to worship we sang God of Grace and Glory, Forever Reign, The Same Love and How Great Thou Art.Our offering song was Greater - from our Palm Sunday worship service.

I hope all mothers had a great day yesterday and felt honored.  Our Kids Choir and Next Generation Kids led worship yesterday, as we've done for the past several years on Mother's Day.We opened with Come Pour - a tune my wife wrote for her 3rd children's musical "Coming Home."After our call to worship we sang Come Ye Sinners, By Faith, Victory in Jesus and Here I Am to WorshipOur offering song was another one written by Mandy called One Mother's Prayer.Join us this week for worship as our choir leads, and Gary Purdy brings our message.

Sorry.  Took a couple days vacation last week and didn't post the setlist. We opened TWO Sundays ago with By Faith - a great tune from the Gettys.After our call to worship we sang This is Amazing Grace, Waiting Here for You, We Will Run, and I Stand Amazed.Our offering song was At the Cross.  Really enjoying that tune.  Favorite line - "There's a place where sin and shame are powerless... where my heart has peace with God and forgiveness."This week we opened with The Church's One FoundationAfter our call to worship we sang Because of Your Love, I Lift My Hands,…

We had a choir Sunday yesterday - I love choir Sundays.  If you've ever thought about joining choir - come give it a shot!  We'll be resuming rehearsals on Wednesday May 6th, as we prepare to lead in worship for Sunday May 17th.We opened yesterday with Here For You.After our call to worship we sang Come Christians Join to Sing, Amazing God, Praise to the Lord the Almighty, and Man of Sorrows.  Our offering song was At the Cross.

Field Day 2015 at OMPC has come and gone!  Seemed like a great day for our church and community.  Looking forward to the next one.We abbreviated our service on Sunday to accommodate the Field Day schedule, so it was just me at the piano, for a short worship set.We opened the service with the call to worship, and then sang You Lifted Me Out, How Deep the Father's Love, and How He Loves.Our offering song was Not Guilty Anymore.  If you're looking for a recording of it - you can find it here, on iTunes

What an awesome Easter Sunday morning!  So great to be able to worship with this awesome church family.  If you missed Bob's sermon - be sure to check it out on our video streaming channelAfter our call to worship we sang Joyful, Christ the Lord is Risen Today, Stronger, In Christ Alone, and Revelation Song.Our offering song was an awesome new tune from Matt Maher called Because He Lives - sung by Carlee.

Yesterday was our "Easter Season Worship Service" - which we usually do on Palm Sunday - but this year Palm Sunday is in the midst of spring break, so we bumped it up a week.The title was "Come As You Are," as the encouragement was for us to use our imaginations as we explored just a small part of the context of Jesus's life.Much more to say about the service - and the videos that we showed will be up this week, but the very end of the service was the Handel's Hallelujah Chorus - in which we tried something new,…

Yesterday was one of the few Sundays that we have a much more scaled-down, acoustic feel to our worship set.  Our instrumentation consisted of piano, acoustic, acoustic bass, and fiddle.  I love changing it up every once in a while.We opened with All Who Are Thirsty -  to continue to remind us to slow down during this season of Lent...After our call to worship we sang Hosanna (Hillsong), Search Me, Jesus Paid it All, and Lead Me to the Cross.Our offering song was No Other Name - from Hillsong.Join us this Sunday at both morning services for Come As You Are -…

We continued with our Lenten season worship yesterday.  It's so good to at least consider the idea of slowing down and reflecting on the cross, spending time in repentance....One of our tunes from yesterday had the line "the dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; and there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away."  It's so important that we realize, as we come to the cross through humility and repentance that we are JUST as vile as the thief on the cross.  Not worse off, nor any better - but just as vile.…
