sooo, this is another post submitted as a part of the craziness over on fred’s blog…it’s a weekly hot spot for worship leaders to blog about what all happened in their weekend services…go check it out!!!
i was back for week seven in the LIVE services of lima community church…this weekend i was only leading the two sunday morning services…here we go…
our services started off with the video announcements and a meet and greet time…then we jumped right in…
1. for Your name…by desperation band
2. all the earth will sing Your praises…by paul baloche
3. sing to the King…by billy foote and charles silvester horne
4. how great Thour art…as performed by charlie hall
after this we had our offering set up by our new pastor of connections, cindy porter…we also prayed for a ministry call “royal family kids camp”…a summer camp for at risk youth to come and experience unconditional love…
5. let God arise…by chris tomlin (introduced this as a new song)
then we had our message time given by the lead worship pastor, tim thurston…we are still in our series on “txting”…this week’s title was, “how can i b a better person?”…
6. for Your name…this was a reprise, starting with verse 2 through the end…

sooo, over all it was a great weekend…i challenged the band/vocals to do all that we can to portray the greatness of the God we serve…both in the music and in their presentation of it…i read through psalm 108 and told them that my goal was to “wake the dawn” with our song…and i must say they responded quite well…
the services seemed to be pretty full and the energy level of the congregation was up…each of the two services i had the congregation sing the chorus to “how great thou art” with just the acoustic playing…i love hearing people sing to God with everything they have…and yet i’m challenged with the thought of how much greater He is than any praise offering we can give…than anything that we could ever express…
again i am seeing that it is difficult to have a different leader on saturday…but the same band and same songs…the band responded well to the small things that i do differently and i’m thankful for that…i’m just working through how i can make this less difficult for everyone…
sooo there you have it…
sunday setlists…LIVE…take seven…
