My Worship Confessional for SSCC

Exciting day at SSCC as we continue to dive into the richness of the message of salvation in our “Unwrapped” series.  I was brought to tears as I saw young and old standing to acknowledge their need to pray the prayer of salvation.  Praise God for the spiritual birthdays that happened today.

Band:
Drums:  R.V. Cates
Acoustic Guitar/Vocals:  Shannon Lewis
Bass Guitar:  Gary Share
Saxophone:  Josh Nunn
Electric Guitar:  Kimbo McMinn
Additional Vocals:  Brent Barbee, Michele May, Lori Nichols
Worship Leader:  Fred McKinnon

Walk In:
“You Are Everything” (Matthew West)
- I’ve always loved this song on the radio and I also knew my vocal limitations … this one would have to wait for one of our male vocal powerhouses.  I had Shannon sing the lead on this and Brent nailed the super-high tenor harmonies.  It was a big song!

Opening Song:
“Glorious One” (Steve Fee)
- I drop this down to the Key of C so that people can actually sing along.  It was fun watching young and old singing this song as it’s becoming a regular in our rotation now at SSCC.

Announcements:
Jon Blankenship (Youth Pastor) did announcements and surprised us all with an impromptu rap of the books of the Bible.  You’d just have to be there.  Only JBlank can pull that stuff off.  It was hilarious, and totally unscripted.  At least we knew it was coming in the 2nd service.

Second Set:
“When I Think About the Lord” (Shane & Shane version) – G
“Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone” (my arrangement, in E)
- love doing this in the lower key of E .. it fits my lower voice perfectly, and allows you to really soar on the Chorus.  We took advantage of having Josh on sax and let him take a lead through the Chorus before the final, 4th verse.  It was incredible and lifted the spirits even higher.
“Sweetly Broken” (Jeremy Riddle, Key of B) – led by Shannon

Sermon:  “Unwrapped” series
Closer:  “I Will Never Be” (led by Lori)

Again, it was powerful as David really called out the differences between “new life” (salvation) and “religion”.  I’m convinced there were people who had plenty of religion yet had never truly experienced salvation.  Today was their day.

SO REMEMBER, NEXT WEEK IS THE 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY.  PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD.  TELL PEOPLE TO COME.  THERE WILL BE PRIZES, PRIZES, AND MORE PRIZES!
