Christmas Musical Weekend 12/19-20

December 21st, 2009

This weekend was a blast. We had two completely different styles of celebratory worship. In the traditional services there was an incredible chamber orchestra with a full choir loft of amazing voices. The talent in dedication of that group of singers is amazing.

In modern worship we did a mixture of music and video and kerner and his crew set up the light trusses we usually use at the green room and did some really sweet architectural projection.

With the help of 8 volunteers, I put together a video of people telling the story of Christmas as it was seen in the book of Isaiah. It turned out pretty good - i’ll post it in a bit.

There was also a video for Financial Peace University - a class for people who are (oddly enough) trying to find peace with their finances. You can see that video down yonder.

Here’s the set from this weekend:

Joy To The World - arr. by us
Marvelous Light - Charlie Hall
Do You Hear What I Hear? - arr. Third Day
Born in Bethlehem - Third Day
Tear Down the Walls - Hillsong United
I Celebrate the Day - Relient K
Silent Night - arr. by us
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Freedom is Here - Hillsong United

Modern Worship 12/5-6

December 7th, 2009

Set:

Let God Arise - Tomlin
Angels We Have Heard on High - arr. us in a punk rock disguise
The Stand - Hillsong United
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day - arr. Jars of Clay - you can listen to the recording from the 9:45 service on our Purevolume site.
All We Need - Charlie Hall

Thoughts:

What an awesome, awesome congregation we have. The worship team was very low on energy before both Saturday Night and the 9:45 services, but seeing how ready the peeps were to praise, we woke right up! Special thanks to those who showed no fear at the 9:45 service during the offertory song by standing with your hearts abandoned. How un-methodist of you all! Remember, for that hour nothing else matters - we are here to worship the One who has saved us! Forget about yourself. Forget about those around you. Give…God…everything… don’t you think He’s earned it?
