Sunday Setlists #20 – Worship Service Recaps
Posted on December 7th, 2008 in Church Life, Faith, Sunday Setlists, Worship Confessionals, Worship Leadership by Fred McKinnon
(And we have a winner! Thanks to Michelle Weger for creating this week’s Sunday Setlists logo. Make sure you visit her blog! If you’d like to submit a banner/logo for “Sunday Setlists”, please email it to me, and we’ll feature you and your blog in this spot!)
Hey Everyone -
WOW – so we’re (20) TWENTY FULL WEEKS into this “Sunday Setlists” thing. I was thinking to myself “the last thing anybody needs is yet another blog carnival”. Well, this has done a whole lot for helping us network and learn about other worship services, styles, and song selections. Thanks for being a part!
To participate, just follow these simple rules. (They are simple, yet each week scores of folks seem to not figure it out!?)
1. Share a recap of your worship service on your blog! (don’t have a blog, just put it in the comments box, or on FaceBook, or any other social networking site that you can link to)
2. In the recap, mention that you are participating in “Sunday Setlists” and link back to THIS POST.
(link to http://www.fredmckinnon.com/myblog/2008/12/07/sunday-setlists-20/
3. Fill out the “Mister Linky” form below. In the “URL” field, enter the URL to YOUR blog post or the page on the web that has YOUR review. Don’t link to your homepage – link to the actual page or blog entry that you have this week’s setlist on. (Homepage links will be removed).
4. Leave a comment below, and visit the other sites!
That’s it – plain and simple!
Here’s our recap for St. Simons Community Church, Sunday Dec. 7, 2008
(with iTunes links where appropriate)
Walk-In: Gloria (Mercy Me)
Song #1: Love the Lord (Lincoln Brewster Version, w/o the LB guitar, though!)
(add-on in 2nd service): O Come, All Ye Faithful (see below)
Song #2: Hallelujah (Your Love is Amazing)
(*this is a new arrangement from Brian Doerkson’s new CD, do yourself a favor and check out the link to iTunes, it really brings this song back to life)
Song #3: Mighty to Save (Hillsong)
Song #4: The Stand (Chorus only)
Song#5: Medley back to Mighty to Save
Closer: Hosanna (Hillsong)
*Add-On: After the first service at 9:00, I was talking with one of our elders and he said he really missed the fact that we hadn’t done any Christmas music in the service. “Gloria” didn’t really count for him because it was a “walk-in”, and it wasn’t the one that you would sing along with. I struggle with that in the early part of December – as much as I love the Christmas carols, I would rather sing them at parties and at Christmas Eve services, and a little closer to Christmas … it’s hard for me to feel like I’m really “worshiping” singing most of those “story songs”. C’mon, don’t shoot me. Anyway, I knew he was probably right, so I managed to squeeze in one verse and Chorus of “O Come, All Ye Faithful” after the Announcements/Prayer to setup “Your Love is Amazing”, and it was beautiful.
Sermon: “Construction Christmas”, Part 1
We are starting a series called “Constructing Christmas” which tells the “story behind His story” of how God was “constructing” or laying out the Christmas birth of Christ from the beginning.
Here’s a video open we’re using for the sermon. Kudos to Chris and Travis for their tech-genuis artistic skills. (more info on both of their sites regarding the creation details)

Great week this week. We did a cool arrangement of Mercy Me’s Gloria (Angels We Have Heard).

I like your new Sunday Setlists graphic. I kind of agree with you about the Christmas songs. I don’t know that very many people worship when they’re singing them. I think they like to sing them because that’s just what you do at Christmas.

@alastair – yeah, I ripped it off from Travis@
@russ – yep, that’s the Gloria that we did as well
@david – glad I’m not alone, think I’ll blog about that this week!
I’m with you on Christmas songs. Really a struggle for me to do them. I try and rearrange them to fit our vibe but it’s tough.
Set went great today, used a new loop I did for “With Everything” by Hillsong and overall I was really pleased how it all came together.

We sang 1 Christmas song the last 2 weekends (11/30 and 12/7) and tied them to our scripture/Advent time. This next week we’ll add one more and then the 21st it will be all out Christmas. Sorry guys–I think you’d better give on this one and I think for just cause. Singing them won’t hurt you and you don’t get “super worshiper” points by holding them off. I agree that it is a cultural thing with the American church to sing all of the carols early in the season.. it’s just the way we were raised. Don’t fight it!
A good but different day for me. Read on!

1. Great new logo!!
2. I relate with the Christmas songs thing as well! We did one this week, and then the children also did a Christmas-y song, though it was new to all.
3. Had a maybe unusual God-story to tell this Sunday on my setlist post! God uses blogs! Very cool.

We are supposed to have full blown rehearsals this week with dancers and all for the Christmas service. It’s looking bleak with my wife’s father’s condition worsening. I agree that Christmas music should be withheld until you absolutely have to play it. Good set, Fred.
Brad Hafners last blog post..Sunday Set List for December 7th, 2008
We haven’t done any Christmas music yet, either. I’ll probably do one next week and ramp it up towards Christmas Eve… but I definitely hold off on them as long as I can.

Hi!
Cool worship songs I really like the song ” fix my eyes”
adn the blog to.
Meny blessings from Romania!! Transilvania
Like others have said, Christmas songs are sometimes hard to shoe-horn into a worship service, but for some reason “Joy to the World” and “Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus” actually worked toward that end this week. Especially hard to believe on that last song.
Next week I’m looking forward to doing “What Child is This” because of the “lies He in such mean estate” verse. For real. The wording is really archaic, but the message in that verse is hugely inspiring. And if it’s done with a good groove and heavy bass (with a healthy tom backbeat), it *should* fit well stylistically.
And on the 21st I found a killer version of “Pat-a-Pan” that I arranged chorally that the choir’s going to do. I have no idea who did the CD. I’d ripped the disc a couple of years ago and didn’t do well on my ID3 tags. It’s weird how they’re able to take 18th century songs and make them groove and sound cool.
Thanks for the opporunity here, Fred!

Hi Fred,
We did “O come” also. Great set! Lots of Hillsong, you can’t go wrong there.
Steffanie Oltmanss last blog post..Sunday Set-list ~ December 7, 2008
I think that it’s great that you added the ‘O Come’. Gloria is wonderful. I’d never heard it before. How did you do it??
Off to check out the new ‘Your love is amazing’…
