Sorry.  Took a couple days vacation last week and didn't post the setlist.

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – March 22, 2015

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 -…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – March 8, 2015

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.…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – March 1, 2015

What a great morning of worship!  Our kids choir led us in "What's Up, Zak?"  - the story of both Zaccheus and Bartimaeus and how their lives were changed forever by meeting Jesus.I'm always so excited about the church getting to share in what the kids are working on.  Children's choirs play such an integral role, not only in teaching biblical truths to our kids, but helping to shape musical foundations that will stay with them, to some degree, for the rest of their lives.  If your kids aren't involved in kids choir - they need to be!  Join us…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday Morning – February 15, 2015

We wrapped up our 2015 Global Missions Conference yesterday, and LENT begins this Wednesday.  Lent is one of my favorite seasons in the church calendar.  I love the lament and confession aspect of Lent.  I love the progression that we can go through as a believer as we come repentantly, with knowledge and expectation that the finished work of Christ has, is and will continue to sanctify us.  But a season of lament is good.  It can be a season of refocusing.  What will your focus be?We opened yesterday with Let Creation Sing.After our call to worship we sang Because of…
