New rehearsal schedule starts 2 August
This week saw the conclusion of the launching the new vision of the church. Thanks to the worship leaders who both prepared for this weeks in advance. I think that the thoughtfulness and planning you did showed in relatively smooth and worshipful services. Also thanks to those who did serve this week, and came to the all-in. You committed lots of time to this ministry this week. Thanks for your faithfulness. Again, such a professional delivery of the music and tech this week. It is an honour each week to work with you all. Some of you came from gigs the night before, and others from other busy weeks with social / work / family commitments, and yet none of your lack of energy translated in your worship time.
10am service
Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah
Hear Our Praises
Lord Most High
Welcome
Let Your Presence Fall
There is a Redeemer
Prayer / Communion
Sermon
God of This City
What great leading from the piano. Thanks for the strength throughout the band. It is a shame that we did run out of time, and didn't prepare fully for the service. This is a great example of why we are changing the rehearsal times. With the extra time, we would have practised the new song thoroughly, sung through the entire songs to help the data projectionist, and then had a good break in which to refresh and prepare for the service, both personally and for the congregation. Having said that, I think that the service worked well. Please tell me your thoughts.
6pm service
Agnus Dei
How Great is Our God
Welcome / prayer
Your Love is Amazing
Mighty to Save
Word of God Speak
communion
sermon
God of This City
Well, I think the gamble worked at the start. What do you think? Great pulling into worship for the congregation with the lights, the image and then the music start. I think that the fact that people were getting into worshipful, slower songs at the start was a testament to the team for preparing for worship well. Then, shock horror, we did faster songs in the middle. Nice change, I thought. Tight band, and great vocals. I love this team! Glad you are all still together next roster. Although I thought that the drums could have been louder sometimes, I thought the mix was great, the data invisible (which it should be) and a team who pointed to God rather than themselves. Comment on all of this, please!
Love you all, have a great week.

Love you all, have a great week.
Glad the start of the evening service worked. Will be interesting to hear any feedback on it from the congregation.
ReplyDeleteThe all in was good always great to get together as the full team.
