In sticking with what seems to have become my tradition, here is my wrap-up from yesterday…

As is normal, we got to the school at 8:00AM and began the setup. This was the first time that we had to completely setup before the service (last month we were able to leave our equipment setup overnight at the school after practicing setup). Not only was this our first time to do a complete setup before the service, but we had more stuff to setup than ever before as we keep adding stuff to our setup (only few items left to add though). Anyway, it took us about 1 hour and 10 minutes to setup. Although this is the fastest we’ve ever done it (1.5 hours was our previous mark), we still are not quite to where we need to be at 45 minutes.

With setup taking a bit longer than expected, we ran late the rest of the morning. Band rehearsal ran about 35 minutes so by the time we actually finished rehearsing it would have already been time for us to start playing for the service, so things were pushed a bit more. Other than being about 10 - 15 minutes behind schedule, the service went pretty smoothly.

The most exciting part for all of us was that we had three new families visit yesterday!

Here’s the setlist…

• Love the Lord (Lincoln Brewster)
• Hosanna (Paul Baloche & Brenton Brown)
• One Way (Joel Houston & Jonathon Douglass)
• Everlasting God (Brenton Brown & Ken Riley)
• Fire Fall Down (Matt Crocker)
• Nothing But The Blood (Robert Lowry)
• Holy is the Lord (Chris Tomlin & Louie Giglio)

So I will probably make this a habit of doing my Sunday wrap-up on Monday sometime…

Yesterday was a great ending to a busy weekend. After spending all day Saturday setting up and getting used to our new equipment all we had to do is show up at the school and do our service.

The band started about 10 minutes before the service was supposed to start (as is normal) playing ‘prelude’ music. At 10:00 AM, the scheduled start time, there was still no one in the sanctuary, even though I had seen some people walk in the front door several minutes prior. So, we extended the the prelude by jumping around our last song a bit repeating the bridge and chorus a couple of times. By the time we actually finished (about 3 or 4 minutes after we were supposed to) we had 22 people in the sanctuary! Praise God!

Everything just went so smoothly the rest of the service and we even finished on time (this was the first time this happened)! God was there in with us allowing us to worship him and speaking to us the words we needed to hear.

Here is the setlist for yesterday…

Prelude:

• Hallelujah (Your Love is Amazing)
• One Way (Joel Houston, Jonathon Douglass)

God has truly blessed us with great people, great equipment, and a great love and I feel honored to be able to serve him as the Lead Worshiper at LCC.
