from "A Royal Waste of Time"

"To worship the Lord is -- in the world's eyes -- a waste of time... Worship ought not be construed in a utilitarian way. Its purpose is not to gain numbers nor for our churches to be seen as successful. Rather, the entire reason for worship is that God deserves it."

Set 12-27-2009

To the Most Awesome Praise Band ever known to me (sorry, that greeting really lost it's 'epic-ness' there at the end!)

I don't know about you, yesterday was AMAZING!
1. We sang songs that Christians for generations have sung about our Savior

Galations4:4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

2. We played our best for Him (pa rum pa pum pum)

3. We lead people to worship God, and proclaim His glory, as He became "God with us".

Thank you!

I hope you all have a great Christmas. We won't practice this Thursday (b/c it is Christmas Eve) so we will run through the set Sunday morning at 9:45. Here is the set.

Set 12-20-2009

Hello All

I think that everyone has heard that I have been called to be a church planting pastor by FBC Newcastle. Christy and I are excited about what God is doing with us and through us and would ask for your continued prayers. One of my top priorities is to help in anyway that I can Bethel make this transition. It has been the joy of my week and an honor to serve in this band with each of you. Mark Powell will be at practice tomorrow night and we can talk through some of the details. I love each one of you and thank you for being a blessing to Christy and I.

Here is the set for this Sunday. See you all at practice tomorrow night at 8:30.

Hey everybody

You all did such a great job last weekend. I am so sorry that I have got this set up so late!

Come Thou Long Expected Jesus is not the traditional melody, but easy to pick up. I will get the next few weeks sets up as soon as possible, but don't have them finalized yet.

King Of Wonders (mp3) - Jim, can you cover the EG riff on the keys? If not, Jachin always sings this riff when the song comes on the radio, so I might just give him a mic! ;-)

Well the web links are fixed! sort of... We just found a work-around for the mp3 links. They should work, please let me know if they don't.

Practice is Thursday at 8:30. Angela is going to be off for the next two weeks, so Alicia has said she will fill in for us. Sorry for the late post this week, I'll get back on track next week. See you on Thursday.

Hello All
Thank you all for working through last week, we hit some weird bumps, but as always, you guys pulled it out. Last Sunday morning was uplifting to me. I felt that we led the people well and we sang the Gospel!

Set 6-21-2009

Hello All

Angela is singing with us this week. I am out of town from Sunday evening to Wednesday night this week, so I got the set up early. Practice is a little tricky for me this week. I would like to set practice at 6 pm on Thursday because I have an 8 pm machine pitch game. Now I might have to change that time depending on Kimber's tournament. If they lose on Tuesday then we have a game on Thursday and I am the only coach in town. So if I can't practice on Thursday at 6, here are the options.

In order of my preference:
1. Best (but latest) - Thursday 9:30 pm
2. Good for me but I don't know about you... - Friday between 5 pm - 10 pm -or- Saturday after 8:30 pm
3. Only if we have to... - Sunday morning 9:30 AM

I am sooo sorry about this craziness. This is what happens when I plan vacations and try to be here on Sunday. It leave no time the rest of the week to get Sunday stuff done!.

Famous One (mp3) **I linked this to the "Famous One" now. Sorry! ;-)
Everything Glorious (mp3)
Let God Arise (mp3)
Everything (mp3) - Jeremy & Angela sang this one down at Falls Creek. Jeremy said that the FC band version was more full band and so he will help us arrange it at practice.

Practice is at 8:30 this Thursday. I will be at a baseball game until 8, so I will get there as quick as I can, but we will probably start a bit late. Amy B is singing this week. Jeremy won't be able to be at practice, but will be there on Sunday because of Falls Creek. You guys are awesome. Be sure to listen to the new song "Only Your Blood is Enough". This was my favorite song from my conference last week. The CD isn't released yet, but Sojourn Community Church e-mailed me the charts. How cool?

All Because of Jesus (mp3)
O, For A Thousand Tongues To Sing (mp3)
Only Your Blood is Enough (mp3) - the mp3 is not good, this is a yet to be released song. A better quality can be heard at their myspace - http://www.myspace.com/sojournrecords

Set 5-24-09 (Acustic Set)

Hello All
I'm sorry that the set is so late this week. I have been trying to find fill-ins for David & Paul, to no avail. So I have attempted to make an acoustic set. Josh (on lead) & I will be on acoustic guitar, Jim will be on keys, aux percussion, pad, jug, saw, et. Al. ;-)

We will have to arrange quite a bit tomorrow night. We will probably cut one or two of the songs below, but I wanted to have a pool to chose from if one doesn't sound good with the alternative set-up. Thanks for being flexible.

Come Ye Sinners (mp3)
We Are Hungry (mp3)
Center (mp3)
Shine Your Light On Us (Acoustic Version) (mp3)
Grace Flows Down (mp3)
Take My Life (mp3)

**UPDATE** - Thanks for the suggestions.
Cannons (mp3)
No One Like You (mp3)
Walk the World (mp3)

Love is Here (mp3)



Hello All

I didn't get the set finished today, but I will finish things up first thing tomorrow morning. I know DK, Peter, Jim, and Paul will be practicing with Ronnie tonight, so I hope this doesn't put you in a pinch. I am trying to get back to the 10 day lead time on the sets. Here is the set so far...

I'm open to other suggestions. Anybody got a hymn?

Set 3-8-2009

Hello All

Here is the set for this Sunday. Josh Reed will be filling in on guitar this week and we have moved practice to 7. I have thrown it two new songs, but I know you can do it and I think they are fairly easy to pick up. We will possibly lower the keys of both Cannons and Love is Here.

Cannons (mp3)
How Great Thou Art (mp3)
Lead Me to the Cross (mp3)
Love is Here (mp3)
Better is One Day (mp3)
----------
I think that we will come back up at the end and finish off with Love is Here

*** Next week, I will be leaving for Haiti. Ronnie can play accustic guitar and Peter will be playing. Jeremy will get you all the set and I think practice will BE MOVED TO Tuesday @ 6:30. You all will run the service on the 15th (David Ibach will be in town and be able to open up on Sunday morning). After the video is played, Mark Hensley will come down to run the invitation. You can either play a song from the church computer (Chris Rice - Living Room Sessions - is piano arrangements of hymns) or you can prepare a song for the invitatioin.

Sunday, March 22nd is another story. I will be back in town on Thursday, but late. Ronnie is available but Peter is out on the 22nd. This week we will make a plan for the 22nd. Angela will not be singing on the 22nd. ***

You guys are a blessing and it is an absolute joy to serve and lead with you every week. Thank you for your friendship and you service.

Grace & Peace
Andy

Set 1-18-2009

Brandon Rycroft is taking care of tomorrow morning because Joseph and I are headed on the college ski trip, Jeremy is coming back from Miami, and PK is coming back from Colorado. I pray God leads and guides his people in worship tomorrow. Brandon and DK will do a great job!

I wanted to get out the set for the 18th before I headed to NM. I'm getting back on Thursday, and I was wondering if we could have our first Thursday practice at 9 pm instead of 6:30. Please e-mail me and let me know if you can make it. I just don't know if we can make it back by 6:30 and I don't want to move practice to the weekend because it is D-Now.

Here is the set for the 18th. I might add a song if there is a D-Now theme song or a way to tie into the special speaker's talk.

All We Need (mp3)
Everlasting God (mp3)
Everything Glorious (mp3)
Come Thou Fount (mp3)

[to close the service]
O Praise Him (All this for a King) (mp3)

I hope everybody has had a great week. I'll be checking e-mail and the blog as I can this week.

We want the funk....

Practice was great last night. Here is a basic score sheet and the mp3 of "Shout Praise". I think that we can pull it off.
