Mother’s Day Setlist 5-10-09
First, Happy Mother’s Day to all of the fabulous mom’s out there! I hope you had a wonderful day!
Our day was lovely thus far (except for the headache). I had a semi-relaxed morning before church (which NEVER happens), I got to wear a pretty flower corsage that Nani made me (at Michael’s) and a fun afternoon that included lunch with friends and a matinee with Eric & the girls. The only problem was having to sit so close to the screen which gave me a massive headache.
But I digress, as that’s not why you are here…
The list…
- Not To Us [F]
- Jesus Messiah [E]
- Desert Song [D]
- Grace Like Rain [Am]
- kids message
- Beautiful One [C]
- announcements
- message – Moms 360
- Doxology
Not to Us is a great song to start off with, but I’m not sure that everyone was ready for us to start. Some were still chatting and laughing well into the song (which was distracting to me, if no one else). Oh well.
After this morning I have decided something. I don’t much like to sing Jesus Messiah. The worst part is that I can’t put my finger on why I don’t like to sing it… I just don’t. It always seems too slow when it’s the correct tempo and it’s too fast when it seems that the tempo is good. Weird. Any tips? Please? Perhaps it needs to become a communion song. I had it second as it always seems like it should be a fast song, but then I am reminded that it really isn’t. Oops.
We did Desert song for the 2nd time today and I think it worked well… I was a “bad” leader on that song as I had closed my eyes and just worshiped along with everyone else. ;~) I really like that one, and I am in debt to the many other worship leaders that opened my eyes to it. Thanks!
Grace Like Rain is another great song that I love, but the tempo seemed… off today. Could have been just me though, I felt a little too tired or something. And it felt a little too low… but then, many songs feel that way to me.
We led Beautiful One for the kids, and they all loved it. It’s so fun to watch our children getting into worshiping God! Jen led the motions to it and 90% of the kids were participating. A couple were a little too young to keep up and Nanika chose instead to stand up with me.
After church people spent lots of time chatting and fellowshiping… and there were chocolate dipped strawberries! Yum! THen we had lunch at Bajio (Mexican) and went to see Star Trek. Yep, it was a good one. Highly recomend it. Gonna have to buy it when it comes out on DVD. And there is my entirely unspiritual ending to my Sunday Setlist once again!
Eric is working on dinner now – lamb chops, twice baked potates, asparagus, homemade rolls and homemade cheesecake for dessert. I am a blessed woman! The bread is baking now and it smells WONDERFUL. The cheesecake was baked yesterday, and the potatoes are almost ready to go in. A lovely ending to a lovely Mother’s Day!
As always, this is part of Fred’s blog carnival. If you want to take part – or just read about other church’s services – check out the carnival over at FredMcKinnon.com

Wow, do I ever love the Doxology.
…did someone say “Cheesecake!”?
Is it wrong that after reading your great worship recap, I’m honest more interested in how delicious dinner sounds???!!
YUM!
(and don’t answer that, I know it’s wrong…but YUM!)
PS…Jesus Messiah…we’ve not learnt it because I’ve never put my finger on why I don’t really love it. It’s always just existed for me, not stood out…
Dinner WAS delish… Eric is a wiz in the kitchen. I even got a bit bouquet of flowers for the table. I boiled down some Morello cherries for a topping on the cheesecake too… sooooooooo good. All in all it was a great Mother’s Day. I guess the bar is officially raised for Father’s Day next month! I’m thinking steak is in order. And dark chocolate cake.
Oops, I guess I got distracted from the setlist again… sorry!
