2.  In your blog (if you blog), please mention that you are participating in “Sunday Setlists” at FredMcKinnon.Com, which should link back to:

My “Sunday Setlists” for St. Simons Community Church

Wow, what a glorious day.  I think we had at least 500-600 visitors.  I’m guessing we had between 1800-2000 adults this morning – both services were completely packed.  We had an unusual set design, kicking off our series called “Break Free” on fear … our stage set was a dunegon, complete with torches, bars, stockades, shackles and chains.  Not your typical “Easter Lillies” set.

Extended Walk-in Music:
Glory Hallelujah (G) – ole’ school, fast gospel song, led by Harriet
Shackles (Gm) – classic funk/rock groove – Shannon Lewis joined Kim Dixon singing the solo verses and completely tore it up.

Opening Set:
Happy Day (C)  – Tim Hughes (led by Shannon)
For All You’ve Done (E) – Hillsongs (led by Fred)

Second Set:
Mighty to Save (A) – Hillsongs (led by Fred)
Shout to the Lord (A) – Hillsongs (went from Chorus of Mighty to Save directly into the Chorus of “Shout to the Lord”, it was powerful, and gave me chills, led by Fred)

Special Music:
The Glorious Impossible (C) – Carl Cartee (AMAZING SONG)
(led by Shannon)

Sermon:  Break Free, Part 1 (Fear)
(sermon will be available on podcast at www.sscommunitychurch.com later this week)

Closing Song:
In Christ Alone (D) – Townend/Getty (Harriet led)

It really was an awesome day for us, and I’m sure it was for you as well!

Your turn … post your comment below and share about your worship service.  If you blog about it, be sure and link back here (see rules above) and enter the full URL to your entry below in this Mr. Linky.  (remember, no homepage links allowed, such as myblog.wordpress.com or myblog.blogspot.com, etc … if you are unsure what to do, publish your blog, then go back to your blog, click the title, and copy THAT URL)

    Happy Easter! Hope today was celebratory for everyone. We had a guest musician on pedal steel, and I’m now convinced it should become a staple instrument in church!

  4. Artie says:

    Wow..top 5.. Everyone must still be napping..LOL. Wonderful morning of worship and it’s cool to see what all everyone used as their songs of praise of our creator and savior.

  5. This is the day that it is all about!! Christ is Risen!

    A great morning of celebration in Saskatchewan!

    I was on organ for the hymn “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today” and the congregation drowned me out!

    Have a blessed Easter everyone,
    …Randy

    Had a great day! We’re not near any family so we’re kinda just bumming around this afternoon. Which is a good thing because this has been the busiest week in my life.

  11. Good set today, Fred. The only thing I don’t get is how all those folks stayed seated during “Glorious Impossible”. I just couldn’t do it. Hope the people behind me didn’t mind staring at my backside :) At least Tracie joined me!

  12. Man, Fred – I agree with Brooke… I think “Glorious Impossible” is a keeper… we need to do that one corporately soon! WOW. And it was one GREAT Sunday. Hope you had a happy rest of your Easter!

  13. Jim Drake says:

    Hey Fred–looks like you had a good day. Would love to have done the GLORIOUS IMPOSSIBLE.. but we kept it simple.

    Hope you have a great week–recover and renew!

  14. Paul J. says:

    I’m number 15! Booyah!

  15. We celebrated our Risen Lord with all the rest of you! I love bold resurrection praise songs that remind us the victory is in Christ. I was a fitting conclusion to our Good Friday viewing of the Passion of the Christ where we had a first time visitor come to Christ.

  16. Dean Lusk says:

    Posted! Neat that a number of people did “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” today. I expected a couple of more groups to have used “I Will Rise.”

    Great day today! Wish we’d saved “Happy Day” for today. Did it recently, though.

    • Hey Dean,

      I Will Rise was on the preliminary plan for us this week, until I added up the time for our service. Hard to put 90 minutes of content into a 70 minute service!

      There are so many great songs for Easter Sunday!

      Blessings,
      …Randy
