Sunday Setlist 7-26-09
Wow, what a great time of worship we had yesterday! Well, at least I had a great time… I can only hope everyone else did too!
The list…
- We Lift You Up
- Happy Day (Kim Walker version)
- Reign In Us (Starfield)
- Revelation Song (Kari Jobe version)
- kids message
- Love The Lord
- message – “Going Down?”
- Great Is Thy Faithfulness
The songs just seemed to flow one to the next lyrically yesterday, and it was amazing. It was our 2nd week singing “Happy Day” and there was much more participation. That was pretty cool to see. We tightened up the vocals a bit this week too, and I think that helped a lot too. We dropped down to 1 or 2 voices to start each song and added in voices on the choruses, and that in itself helped the dynamics a ton. Now we just need to get the bass & electric guitars turned up a tad more so I can actually hear them… 
High point? Happy Day ROCKED yesterday. Sam nailed the verses this week and it just felt… better. Having the congregation get more “into” it really helped too.
Low point? Love The Lord. It started really s.l.o.w. no, I mean at like 1/4 the correct tempo. Take a song that seems to go on and on an on forever and then slow it down? I was very close to stopping after the 1st verse and saying “Now that we remember the song, let’s speed it up!” but I didn’t want to call it out like that. I kept trying to speed it up, but it just wasn’t happening. Oh well.
I’m still thoroughly enjoying having the space and the centralized sound that Peace Lutheran offers, however I think we may have figured out why they have their later service in the little white church… that sanctuary is HOT by 9:30 am! We had a few fans going this week, and they had opened up all of the doors and windows for their early service so it was a little better, but we were still all dripping by the time the service started. Wow. Of course, it is substantially warmer than normal for western Washington these days. It’s supposed to hit 98 today… and we often have Summers that don’t break 80! Yep, I’m looking for any excuse to find a place with a/c.
