Please follow the link to the right about general comments about the services. Please follow that blog too! I will now concentrate on specific comments about the services in this blog.
AM service
Blessed Be Your Name
Shout to the North
Holy is the Lord
Welcome / Prayer
I Could Sing of Your Love Forever
Agnus Dei
Sermon / Communion
How Great is Our God
Linking this worship leader with this band is (although personally great for me), a gamble that it might be too contemporary for this congregation. However, I only heard positive comments. I thought the way everyone dealt with light and shade enhanced the worship. The different sounds also danced on the senses too. Thanks for the worshipful way you all served this weekend. Please see below comments from Leigh.
PM service - RETRO WORSHIP NIGHT
I Walk By Faith
I'm Saved
The Stone's Been Rolled Away
Welcome / Prayer / Communion
All Honour, All Glory
I Love You Lord / I Exalt Thee
Sermon
Sing for Joy All the Earth
What a night! I was slightly disturbed though, did you know there were three males in the team wearing women's clothing? I thought that there was a good balance between the night being a novelty show and true worship. I am so humbled excited by the fact that our worship team all have such great attitudes. In general, great work by everyone, and vote is we'll do it again next year.

Just wanted to say that in my 37yrs of playing drums in church there have been times when I have questioned my ability to actually be in the team, my worthiness which is always doubtful . and my reason for playing. These are issues that never seem to leave me, however playing last Sunday in both morning and night services was a real blessing to me . I went home at the end of the day and thought yep today I have served my God just by making myself available .
As that famous uncomplicated Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts ,when asked a question about his roll in the band , replied "I just play drums for Mick its not about me"
What a profound statement , regardless of my ability, worthiness or anything else that comes my way my reply will be " I just play drums for my God its not about me"
In addition great leading Blake , choice of songs was great and really nice touch with the kids singing , added to a real sense of family in the service, Krystal the retro was a hoot , dressing up getting into the theme was a big plus. In amongst all those great old songs was a real sense of worship through the music and that is what is most important, it was great looking out at the congregation seeing people really engaging instead of just standing there like stale bottles of ?????. James and Josh really good foldback in both services for me, awesome

ReplyDeleteI know it has been said before but what really set the morning apart was the great use of dynamics. It really makes a difference to the sense of worship if it is not all the same.
I thought the morning service music was excellent - really energetic. Great stuff.
