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 ten in the LIVE services of lima community church…i was only leading the sunday morning services…thanks to our lead worship pastor covering saturday night for me…so here we go…
our service kicked off with a short video announcement clip and our weekly meet and greet time…
1. everlasting God…by lincoln brewster
2. Your grace is enough…by matt mahar
then we had a scripture “video”…isaiah 53:2b-6…
3. You are my King…by billy foote
i prayed at this point and then shared with them what God had been talking to me about…the verse that was hitting home was hebrews 10:14…
14 For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy. (NLT)
i have been challenged with the fact that i am being made holy…it’s a PROCESS…in that process i am going to get off track…i’m going to grab hold of things that are going to slow me down…and i need to get rid of those things…i need to lay them down at the cross where that one offering was made…
4. lay it down…by dave lubben
then our executive pastor came up and set up our offering time and prayer for two upcoming missions trips that our church is taking…
5. Hosanna…by starfield
then we had our roll-in video for week three of our series “life verses”…our speaker this week was scott peterson, chaplain at Mount Vernon Nazarene University…

this weekend went quite well…i showed up sunday morning and the band was READY to go…everything was rock solid and i must say that was nice!!! the services themselves were short all weekend…also the guest speaker did not request music after his message, so the band was cut loose early both saturday night and sunday morning…i like to be able to do that from time to time…it gives them a chance to spend more time with their families…
one thing that i really enjoyed…i was able to sing some harmony…i had one of our female vocalists lead “You are our King”…then there was another male singing the tenor line…sooo i just had to find a third part and let loose a little bit…LOVED IT!!!
one thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was a feeling of disconnect with the people in the service…i’m going to just blame it on the summer, but it was odd…one week everyone is very actively involved in the service…the next week people just look at me like i’m from some other planet…(though i may resemble something from far a far away planet)…it just doesn’t make sense!!! i can’t really put a finger on it…there is no pattern…it doesn’t seem to be dependant on the music that is chosen…i have no clue?!?
sooo there you have it…
sunday setlists…LIVE…take ten…
