sooo, this is another post submitted as a part of the craziness which is now being hosted over at the worship community…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  in the LIVE services at lima community church…and it was another great weekend!!!

this weekend we started things off with our video announcements and then we jumped right in…

1. all because of Jesus…by fee

2. healer…by hillsong united

then we had communion set-up…this was done by a different host in each of the three services…the elements were passed and then taken together, during the following song…

3. revelation song…as performed by kari jobe

this was followed up by our verbal announcements as well as the offering set-up…again this was handled by the host of each service…

4. what faith can do…by kutless

then we had our roll-in video for our current series…healing for all of us…and the message was given by the executive pastor at limacc, vince nelson…the message was entitled “enough faith” and based out of mark 9…and was followed up by a ministry/prayer time…

sooo, this past weekend was something else…there were several FIRSTS…we had an acoustic player join us for the FIRST time…he broke the head off of a bridge pin, a FIRST…and later broke a string…then during the saturday night service the low G string on the baldwin…broke…a FIRST…we also had a brand new boom stand just snap at the boom…a FIRST…and in the last service a vocalist laid their mic down in the room where we sit during the services…a young boy, will, decided to turn it on during the ministry/prayer time and see if it worked…IT DID…a FIRST…you would think that the services would have just been a wreck, but my guess is that no one knew anything was going on (other than hearing will)…unless they noticed that someone else was playing my guitar and i had a different one as well…?

the band pulled things together quickly this weekend…there weren’t any real trouble spots musically as we got ready…i will say the song that was the most fun, CHALLENGING, and powerful for me was the kutless tune…there are some GREAT lyrics in that (not to mention HIGH notes) and it had me really meditating on a couple verses in psalm…

psalm 46:1-2a

¹ God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.

² Therefore we will not fear,

no matter what we are going through…no matter what we are in the midst of…no matter how we got there…God is ever-present with us…we need to have faith…we need to trust Him…we MUST NOT fear!!!

i was  in the LIVE services at lima community church…and it was another great weekend!!!

we started off the services a little early this weekend…we did a little instrumental improv to get things going…

1. our God is love…by lee mcderment

this rolled right into the video announcements…followed up by a verbal announcement and recognition of one of our church volunteers, denise cook…she has been heading up our local royal family kids camp for the last 5 years…not to mention the years that she had been volunteering with the camp prior to that!!!

then we had a quick meet and greet time…

2. the time has come…by hillsong united

3. come thou fount…as performed by david crowder band

4. how He loves us…as performed by kari jobe

then we had our offering setup and prayer…

5. tunnel…by third day

this was followed by the roll-in video and a message given by our head pastor, dan huckins…it was a continuation on our series on healing…the title of the message was, “when we are not healed”…very powerful stuff followed by a time of ministry and prayer…

6. how He loves us…an acoustic reprise version

sooo, this past weekend was a long time coming for me…last may i started in the LIVE services at limacc…i left our video venue service and some great friends and musicians…even though i was only going across the parking lot and i am still playing with great musicians…i miss hanging out and playing with some of the other guys…and two of them came over to join me this past weekend…it was GREAT!!!

on top of that, i really love lee mcderment’s music, not to mention third day…in having these guys come to rock the service, i was more than confident in adding some music that i normally would be a little hesitant about…we added the tune by lee mcderment as well as a third day tune…i got to work early in the week to make sure that i could “keep up”…the service was a little more on the “rock” side than normal…and the volume level was a tad HIGHER than normal…but i am more than confident that God was honored and glorified…

each service was unique in their response to the message…but in each of them people were definitely responding…God is continuing to show that He is active in the lives of the people at limacc…and i am confident that one of these days we aren’t going to be able to contain what it is He does…i CAN’T WAIT!!!

there was an added element of difficulty though…some of you will know my friends dave and jodi…and their battle right now with cancer…jodi had her third round of chimo last week…they were heavy on my heart all weekend, especially as i sang “tunnel”…third day is one of their favorites…it was hard for me not to just sing that song to them, as they were sitting at home…(i know they aren’t the only ones in the battle…they aren’t even our only friends in that battle…but they are the closest to my heart!!!)
