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."

Working Set 2-8-09

This is a new way that we can collaborate. I am going to post a few 'working' sets. Not complete, no links, but open for suggestions. If you have a 'working set' e-mail me and I will post it. Then we can all make comments about arrangements, additional songs, etc.

2-8-2009
theme - God redeemed us in a close and personal way. He didn't just snap His fingers. He came to earth as Jesus, adopted us as children by His substitutionary death on the cross.

When I think about the Lord
Old Rugged Cross (this has a bit of a country sound to it, so I am open to suggestions)
Jesus Messiah
You Are God

Let me know your thoughts

I hope all is well and that you are all safe and warm. Here is the set for this week. We have practice at 6:30. Our stage will be completely cleared because of Addison Road on Wednesday. We will have the stage together, but we will need to sound check so practice will be a bit longer. Thanks for being flexible!

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.

Shout Praise (mp3)

*I only have a pdf of the score sheet, so it cannot be edited in Google Docs.
