Worship Service Recaps from St. Simons Community Church

Fred McKinnon — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:31:02 +0000

I’m not sure where to start. The last few weeks at my home church have been … well, incredible. We’ve made a conscious effort to slow it down, to hear God, and to allow God to do what He loves to do … change lives and minister to people.

It started 3 weeks ago when we prepared for a service where we’d offer people the opportunity to be baptized – right there, right then, no excuses. We baptized 126 people. It was amazing.

Then we shared testimonies and built faith.

Then we prayed for the sick and those in need of healing.

Yeah … at that “community church” – you know the one where they don’t allow the Holy Spirit to show up.

I’m sensing a flow, an anointing, an expectation … that I haven’t sensed in a while. I cannot explain it, other than to say .. I like it … a lot.

One of the big objectives that was given to me in taking this position over 3 years ago was to get more people involved in the music/worship ministry at SSCC. I think that’s definitely happened as we’ve experienced tremendous growth.

Perhaps the biggest joy I have is in stepping back and allowing others to lead. This Sunday was no exception when my friend Russ Hutto led his first full service at SSCC. Russ has led a song here and there and has played in the band plenty of times. I felt like the time was right and handed the keys to Russ and he did an amazing job.

Our songs:

“My Savior Lives”
“Beautiful One”
“Overcome”
“Holy and Anointed One”
“Doxology”
“Blessed Be Your Name”

After singing “Overcome” and moving into one of my favorites of all-time, “Holy and Anointed One”, it seemed that the Presence of God was so thick you could touch it. Something about singing “we will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony” followed by singing the Name, “Jesus”.

Wow.

So, how was your worship services?

PS: Oh yeah, almost forgot – I’m sharing this recap as a part of the weekly “Sunday Setlists” event hosted at TheWorshipCommunity.Com.

And They Were Baptized … #sundaysetlists

Fred McKinnon — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:33:45 +0000

OK, so first … what is this #sundaysetlists thing in my blog post title?

It’s called a “hash tag” … a way to tag or identify a blog or twitter post so that people can know it’s subject, keywords, or you can even search twitter based on them.

“Sunday Setlists” is an event that started right here on FredMcKinnon.Com, but has since transferred over to TheWorshipCommunity.Com – where people post a recap of their worship services each week. Be sure and check out the other posts.

So, on to my recap of our worship service at SSCC for Sunday, August 15th.

Wow. I can’t express how incredible it was. We have never conducted a baptism during our worship services in the building … they have always been special gatherings, outside, at some place with a pool. We had our first baptism service yesterday, which was a complete surprise to most of those who attend our church. The bigger surprise; however, was that we were prepared to baptize anyone who wanted to be baptized … spontaneously.

We opened up with a couple of songs:

“I Have Found” (Kim Walker)
“Mighty to Save” (Hillsong)

Then, David (our pastor) taught on salvation and baptism. It was a shorter, 25-minute sermon. Then he basically challenged people to respond. We were ready with the excuses. We had stacks of brand new shorts and T-shirts of all sizes. We had undergarments. Personal Products. Hair dryers. Combs. Photographers. Videographers. There was really no reason to NOT respond …

And respond they did. Between the two services, countless people confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord, and +/- 126 people got baptized.

Young, old.
White, black.
American, Chinese.

I’m still blown away … we played instrumental music, sang a bit, worshiped the whole time, and simply let the music “ebb and flow” with the baptisms. Makes for some tired feet … a good 1-1/2 hours into the service and still seeing people lined up all the way down the wall of the church, waiting for their turn to publicly demonstrate their faith in Christ.

And that’s a recap for our church. How about yours?

Sunday Setlists – Worship Recap from SSCC

Fred McKinnon — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 20:16:16 +0000

Hey Everybody!

Yesterday (Sunday, August 8th) was my first time back on the stage, leading worship at SSCC, in a couple of weeks. It was great to be back. We started a new series called “Small Steps, Big Faith” and our service didn’t have a “sermon” … just a flow of worship, testimonies, and communion. Well, we did “kind of” have an impromptu sermon during our 9:00 AM service when one of the pastors lost track of time in his 5-minute “setup” … which turned into 25 minutes!

Thankfully, a little “Campfire Meeting” backstage after that service helped us workout the timing kinks and we nailed the flow in the 11:00 AM service.

Walk In Song:
“Washed by the Water” (NeedtoBreathe)

“Glorious” (Paul Baloche)
“For All You’ve Done” (Hillsongs)
“Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone” (Hillsongs)

*Testimony: I shared a faith-building testimony about prayer.
*Testimony: One of our pastors, Steve, shared a faith-building story about how God called him into ministry.

“Great is Thy Faithfulness” (Traditional Hymn Version)
*The Lord’s Prayer (corporate prayer)

Communion:
“You Gave Your Life Away” (Baloche)
“Jesus Paid it All” (Northpoint Live Version)
“Christ is Risen” (Matt Maher)

From a technical standpoint, we used a cool backing lyrics video for “Christ is Risen”, which required us to play this song to a click. The animated lyrics and backgrounds were powerful and added a nice visual dynamic to the worship experience on that song.

We wrapped up our Sunday with a big, family “Beach Night” on St. Simons Island – it was a great day celebrating with other Believers here in the area!

This recap is a part of the “Sunday Setlists” event hosted by TheWorshipCommunity.Com.

Worship Confessional – SSCC, July 18

Fred McKinnon — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:21:54 +0000

Wednesday Evening: 3 hours of rehearsal
Thursday Evening: 3 hours of rehearsal
Friday Evening: 1 hour of rehearsal, 2 hours of passionate worship for hundreds of people at “Night of Worship”, SSCC.

Sunday Morning?

Exhausted. Hoarse. But the benefit of using the same band and songs from “Night of Worship”? A simple sound check and rehearsal.

So, off we went, into another gathering of God’s people in this place we call “St. Simons Community Church”.

Walk-in: “You Save” (1st Service) and “Mighty to Save” (2nd service)
*this is the song that I co-wrote with Mandy Thomson. Wow, I’m overwhelmed by the incredible response to this song. It was kinda weird to do this as a “walk-in” song, so I made a decision to move it to “in” the service during the 2nd service.

Opener: “Alive Again” (Matt Maher)
Worship: “Blessed Be Your Name”, “Mighty To Save” (1st service), “You Save” (2nd service), and “How Deep the Father’s Love”.

Loved having Ms. Carol Parks play violin again. Her intro to “How Deep the Father’s Love” was beautiful, and of course, ‘You Save” isn’t complete w/o the violin!

Closer:
Well, Pastor David pulled a fast one on us, and stopped about 75% into his sermon and called me up …. he felt like it was time to stop and worship. So, we pulled an impromptu version of Kate Miner’s “Holy Spirit Come”, followed by “You Save” and “Open Up the Sky” by Jonathan Stockstill.

An incredible day of worship and ministry, capping off an incredible weekend!

Worship Recap from SSCC (#sundaysetlists)

Fred McKinnon — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:14:07 +0000

We enjoyed a great time of worship at SSCC yesterday. We were in Week 4 of our “Prevail” series on spiritual warfare. Pastor David taught about the “breastplate of righteousness” and challenged us in some big ways.

As far as the musical aspect of our time of worship, here’s a snapshot of what we did:

Walk-in:

“When We All Get to Heaven” – a fun arrangement I made where we open it up in the old, traditional style, acapella. Then, we rip into a funky version that is a blast to play, and after singing all 4 verses and the Chorus, we end the song with a campmeeting-style, double-time backbeat Chorus. Always gets the people excited.

Opening Song:

“No Other Name” – Todd Fields/Northpoint Live arrangement. This is always a great go-to song for a shorter, 3-minute opener that rightly brings attention to the Name of Jesus.

Middle Set:

After a short teaching (ie. 1 minute) on the word “hosanna” and what it means, we sang back-to-back “Hosanna” songs …

“Hosanna” (Paul Baloche/Brenton Brown)
“Hosanna” (Hillsong)

Then, the band left the stage and I moved to the grand piano where we did an intimate, reflective arrangement of “Sanctuary” (Lord Prepare Me) with piano, vocal, and acoustic guitar.

After the sermon we closed with the old Vineyard song, “Take My Life” (aka “Holiness”) by Scott Underwood.

Loved leading this week. You can watch our services live or “on demand” at www.sscclive.com.

Sunday Setlists – Debut of “You Save” at SSCC

Fred McKinnon — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 21:44:16 +0000

Today is Sunday, June 13, 2010 – and this is our worship service recap from SSCC. I’m posting this along with hundreds of other worship leaders in the “Sunday Setlists” event that happens every week over at TheWorshipCommunity.Com.

Today was a blast because I was able to debut the first song I’ve written in nearly 6 years. It’s called “You Save” and it’s the fruit of my first songwriting collaboration with Mandy Thompson. More on that in a second …

Our walk-in song this morning was “Marvelous Light” … Shannon Lewis has always “owned” that song and done an awesome job leading it.

Opening Set:
“Alive Again” (Matt Maher and Jason Ingram)
“You Save” (Fred McKinnon and Mandy Thompson)

After some announcements, missions video, sermon promo, and challenging word by Pastor David Yarborough, we celebrated Communion. During communion we worshiped with:

“You Gave Your Life Away” (Paul Baloche and Kathryn Scott)
“Be Thou My Vision” (hymn)
“Revelation Song” (Jennie Lee Riddle)

One of the cool additions today was violin, courtesy of Ms. Carol Parks. Below is a video of the new song, “You Save”. Enjoy!

Verse 1:
Darkness, famine, trials, temptations,
Sorrows, anger, lies, frustrations,
Where, o where are You, God?
I feel a million miles away yet I know you are near
Are you listening? Do you even hear?
Where, o where are You, God?

Chorus:
Where o where does my help come from?
I cry out into the night …

Verse 2:
Lusts of the flesh and the greed in my heart
Selfish desires to be set apart
Where, o where are You God?
Have my sins hidden me for all eternity?
Will you rescue? Will you still help me?
Where, o where are You, God?

(Chorus 2x)

Bridge:
Your arm is not too short to save
Your reach goes deeper than the grave
When I’m crying to You
You save! You save!
You save …. You save …

(repeat)

My help comes from the Lord above
Maker of heaven and of earth
You watch over me and run
to save! To save!
To save …. To save …
You save …. You save ….

Sunday Setlists for St. Simons Community Church

Fred McKinnon — Mon, 17 May 2010 13:55:09 +0000

Hey Gang,

Well, confession time. Since I moved the “Sunday Setlists” event over to TheWorshipCommunity.Com, and Russ Hutto does most of the posting for it .. I’ve not been very consistent at posting our own recaps. Doh. Sorry!

We had a great worship service at SSCC yesterday. We’re in this series called “Worth Fighting For” and it’s all about fighting for marriage and families. This week’s service was a bit unplanned, as we decided to feature a couple from our church during the sermon. They shared about how they’ve had struggles in marriage (like all of us) and how they’ve gotten help. We ended with a visible demonstration of our commitment to marriages and family when the entire front of our church was filled with the “Marriage Mentors” who have been trained by our Family Counselor and her wonderful team.

The music helped set the environment …

Walk In: “Eye of the Tiger” (Survivor) … a great way to get people “in the mood” to fight!

Opening Song: “Alive Again” (Matt Maher, perhaps one of my favorite songs right now!)
Announcements
Worship:
“Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” (Hymn)
“You Gave Your Life Away” (Paul Baloche and Kathryn Scott – amazing tune!)

For our closer, we invited people to come to the altars to pray, to ask for help, to commit their marriages, their families, etc. I thought it would be fun to play a “love ballad” and this one from the early 90′s kept coming to me because of the line “you can’t tell me, it’s not worth fighting for” …

So yeah .. we did it … “Everything I Do” (I Do It For You) – Bryan Adams. What a blast!

And that’s a wrap for this week. See what other churches and ministries did at the weekly “Sunday Setlists” event over at TheWorshipCommunity.Com.

Easter 2010 – St. Simons Community Church

Fred McKinnon — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 19:10:27 +0000

Oh, what a beautiful day … what a beautiful way .. that HE HAS SAVED ME!

No, we didn’t sing that song today, but my 3rd Easter Sunday as the Worship Pastor at St. Simons Community Church was a great day. We had packed crowds with overflow in both services and Pastor David Yarborough presented the Gospel in a powerful way. I know many lives were given to Jesus Christ today.

One of the problems I face is having TOO MANY wonderful musicians and singers. As a result, it’s impossible to get everyone on the stage for Easter Sunday. Nevertheless, we had an awesome team with some of our faithful volunteers and had a glorious time in worship.

We opened with a song that’s become a bit of a “tradition” for us … with “Shackles”. This is such a groovy tune led by Kim Dixon and Todd Hendrix. It was incredible having Josh Nunn with us on sax this year and Russ Hutto even pulled out his trumpet as we did a long interlude of band jam while people were waiting on the services to begin.

At the top of the hour we had an exciting 60-second countdown video which stirred us in anticipation of the celebration that was happening.

This led directly into “Glory to God Forever”, one of my favorite songs of the last year.

After some brief announcements we had an incredible interview/testimony with PGA Golfer Zach Johnson who won the Masters a few years ago … on Easter Sunday, actually! Zach lives on St. Simons and attends our church and he had an incredible of story of how he’s given his life to Christ.

To kickoff the 2nd set of worship, Russ Hutto played a regal version of “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” on trumpet. After he played through the song one time, the vocals and piano joined in with Verse 1. Verses 2 and 3 added full band with a “fanfare” to kickoff a big, broad Verse 4. I asked Russ to play the big “pipe organ” sound on the keys as we went into the final verse, and frankly .. I LOVED IT!

“Mighty to Save” was a must-have for Easter Sunday. This has become an anthem in our church and the people really sing it out with everything they have.

The next moment was carefully rehearsed and came out beautifully. We had a video that perfectly setup the sermon and the background music was Tomlin’s “I Will Rise”. Travis (our Tech Director) stripped the background music and narration away and one of our faithful volunteers created a new voiceover. With the help of the full Ableton Live tracks from InteractiveWorshipLive.Com we accompanied the video with “I Will Rise” and came in after the 2nd Verse … so this inspiring video and narration played throughout the 1st Verse, Chorus, and 2nd Verse, and faded into lyrics as we picked it up. It was wonderful.

Our closing songs were full of live:
“In Christ Alone” (Townend/Ketty) – one of my favorites!
“Christ is Risen” (Matt Maher)

Wow, what an incredible day. Of course, “Shackles” as a walk-out/encore was a given, and we enjoyed seeing lots of people stay in the room to dance, praise, and enjoy the fun and music.

This worship recap is a part of the “Sunday Setlists” blog event happening at TheWorshipCommunity.Com each week! Check it out and see what others are doing in their worship services!

Happy Easter!

Songs We Sing #sundaysetlists

Fred McKinnon — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 12:50:53 +0000

Hey Everybody!

Another great day of worship at SSCC yesterday. One of the songs that Russ Hutto has been telling us about is “Say So” by Israel Houghton and Michael Gungor. We introduced it as our walk-in yesterday … complete w/ the full Ableton Live tracks offered by Interactive Worship Live. Since we already had drums, bass, acoustic, piano, and electric guitar, I muted those tracks in Ableton, but we still benefited from the loops, synths, the THREE extra electric guitar tracks and other fillers …

Earlier this week I “tweeted” about my frustrations in scheduling a worship setlist that didn’t “flow” as well as it should simply because we knew people would come to church late. This was one of those weeks. Because we needed to make some major announcements about our upcoming Easter services … specifically, the parking issues … we needed to make sure more people were “in the building”. As a result, I put “Hosanna” (Paul Baloche/Brenton Brown) at the top of the hour to give an extra 5-minutes for people to come in … LATE.

I know we shouldn’t schedule to reward and enable late attendance, but in this case – all of those late-comers missing the announcement about parking for Easter would have been a bigger problem.

After announcements we entered the middle “set” … this is where I wish we could’ve had “Hosanna” for a 3-song flow. Instead, we jumped right into “Revelation Song”.

After that, we were thrilled to have a blog/twitter friend, Gary Durbin, share one of his original songs. Gary was in town for Spring Break and knowing he’s a great worship leader and songwriter from Melbourne, FL … I asked him to share a song. He did better that that … he WROTE a song based on the sermon text I gave him only a few days ago. And it was AMAZING! Thanks, Gary!

We closed with “Take My Life” (the Tomlin/Passion version) as a song of dedication and consecration.

Overall it was a great Sunday, though the flow of worship seemed a bit disjointed because of the way I had to break things up. Travis, our Tech Director, helped smooth things over with some great transitional elements via video.

I’m posting my worship recap as a part of the bigger “Sunday Setlists” event that happens over at TheWorshipCommunity.Com every single week. Go check it out!

Worship Recap for Sunday March 7, 2010 #sundaysetlists

Fred McKinnon — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:03:33 +0000

Hey Hey Hey,

Just finished a great nap on a beautiful Spring day here on St. Simons Island, GA. This day started out with a chilly 39 but has warmed up to a near 70-degree day. Jon Michael (my oldest, the 9-year old) finally got the bike he’s been holding out for so I’ll make this short as a family bike ride awaits me!

The place? St. Simons Community Church

The people? Some of the best on the planet. Great team today.

The songs? A great set of old and new:

Walk In: “Washed by the Water” (NeedtoBreathe)
*love, love, love this song. David Dantzler played acoustic and led this song today and he always nails it.

Opening Praise: “See His Love” (Tim Hughes version)
*we’ve been doing this song frequently for years and it just stays in rotation. Love it. My wife loves it. That makes it say in rotation for a LONG TIME.

Worship Set:
“Hosanna” (Hillsong) – led by one of our teenagers, Liza Odachowski.
“Psalm 63″ – written and led by my friend Russ Hutto. You gotta check out this song, it’s so singable and the people grab it immediately.
“Step by Step” – flows perfectly from Psalm 63, a great old chorus from the Rich Mullins days.

Closing Song:
“How Deep the Father’s Love” (Stuart Townend)
*what a rich song. Simple piano/vocal arrangement led by Todd, with the band building in on the final verse.

David’s sermon was hilarious. I am still laughing about his fast-food examples and how his Dad messed him up by saying he was “outside playing”. You’ll have to catch it on the podcast.

That’s a wrap. I’m sharing this along with other worshipers all over the globe as part of the weekly “Sunday Setlists” blog/twitter fest over at TheWorshipCommunity.Com – so visit there and see all of the things other worship leaders are doing … and checkout the most recent “tweets” below of other folks sharing about their services by using the “#sundaysetlists” hashtag (code) on their tweets!

What Did We Sing? #sundaysetlists

Fred McKinnon — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:58:35 +0000

It was a long weekend of worship at SSCC this weekend. First I led a team from various churches on Friday and Saturday for a women’s conference with Lisa Harper. She is an incredible speaker and we had a wonderful time worshiping with all those ladies!

Today was a great day for our “Sunday” services as well. Here’s a recap of the songs we did.

Walk In: “Live Again” (Tim Haynes)
*this is a bluesy song written by one of our own, and was a ton of fun to play and sing

Opening Set:
“Your Grace is Enough”
“No Other Name”

Middle Set:
“Take My Life” (Third Day version)
“In Christ Alone”
“Christ In Me”

*all of the songs today fit perfectly with our study of Colossians, the preeminence of Christ, and His grace in our lives.

Closer:
“Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone”

This is the musical portion of how we worshiped. Want to see what other churches and leaders were doing? Go checkout all the other recaps in the “Sunday Setlists” post at TheWorshipCommunity.Com.

A Worship Recap for St. Simons Community Church #sundaysetlists

Fred McKinnon — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 16:51:21 +0000

Today we’ve kicked off a new, 8-week series called “Deep Roots” at SSCC. I’m excited to get into a deep teaching where we break down God’s Word, verse by verse.

Part of the creative discussions we’ve had is how we could incorporate some older creeds and songs. Today we proclaimed “The Apostles Creed” together. Now you may be in a church where this is done every Sunday but that’s not normal for us. In my nearly 3-years of serving on staff as the Worship Pastor, we’ve never recited it.

Here’s how the flow of our worship service went today:

Walk In Song:
“Washed by the Water” (Needtobreathe)
Comments: I’ve always loved this song and one of our guitarists/vocalists, David Dantzler, nails it. It was our first time and people really got into it.

Opening Song:
“Glorious One” (Steve Fee)

After a short announcement video, I took about 4-5 minutes to discuss the history and heritage of the Apostles Creed. I wanted to make this come alive so that it wasn’t some creed we said out loud that meant nothing. I tried my best to put this creed into context. It seemed like people were connecting with it and when we proclaimed it together, it was if I were saying it for the first time.

From there, I transitioned with the team directly into the traditional hymn, “Holy, Holy, Holy” in the Key of C.
This made for a smooth transition from “old” to “new” with “Revelation Song” (Gateway Version) in C.
(yeah, I know, some of you saying “that’s not new!” … haha, indeed it’s a few years old now, but still a great song for our congregation!)

After Pastor David’s sermon, we closed by reinforcing what the Book of Colossians was stating … by singing “Center” (Charlie Hall), stating how Christ is the center of it all.

That’s a recap of our services. I’m sharing this in cooperation with the “Sunday Setlists” blog carnival hosted over at TheWorshipCommunity.Com, where you can see our recap along with many others! Go check’em out!

#sundaysetlists Worship Review for SSCC, Sunday Jan 24

Fred McKinnon — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:36:55 +0000

This worship recap is a part of the “Sunday Setlists” blog carnival, now hosted at TheWorshipCommunity.Com. Visit and see the worship service recaps from hundreds of other churches, worship leaders, and worshipers!

Today was what I call a “float” day at church for me. I scheduled myself off the stage and free of any leadership responsibilities. I spent my time doing a couple of things:

1. Fighting LiveStream: we couldn’t broadcast live today for anything. It kept crashing, freezing, and giving us all sorts of problems. Drove us nuts.

2. “Floating” to different environments. I slipped in and out of both services in our main auditorium. I caught some worship in Rush Hour (Middle School service) and in KidJam (Elementary Students). It was great to see so many styles of worship, volunteers, and leaders who were engaging with the various age groups.

In our main auditorium, the worship team did a fantastic job. They did:

Walk In: We Shall Wear A Crown (Gospel, it rocked)
Opening: Hosanna (Paul Baloche/Brenton Brown)

Middle Set:
Great Is Thy Faithfulness (Hymn)
How Great is our God

Special: The Midnight Call … and Todd and Larry showed their singing skills off, wow, they were awesome.

Closing Worship:
You Have Made Me Glad (I Will Bless the Lord at All Times)
Sing to the King

I’m preparing for a big night of worship next week, and hope you’ll tune in with us next Sunday night at SSCCLive.Com, assuming we can get LiveStream to cooperate.

For the Kingdom,

Fred

#sundaysetlists – Worship Recap for SSSCC, Jan 17

Fred McKinnon — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 21:15:03 +0000

Hey Everybody,

I’m packing up to pull away for a 3-day retreat … more on that here …

So … this “Sunday Setlists” post will be quick.

We had a great day of worship at SSCC today. We decided that we’ve felt too pressed for time and had no room to just pause and make room for spontaneous ministry … or even planned ministry and response. We had a lot to cover during our “Announcements” segment, especially with all that we’re doing for Haiti outreach … so we pulled a song out of the setlist earlier this week to make room. It was so nice and wasn’t rushed.

Setlist for Sunday, January 17, 2010

Walk In: “See His Love” (Tim Hughes version)

Opening Set:
“Your Grace is Enough” — I love to see our people singing out on this one!

Middle Set:
The Solid Rock: started out with simple piano and chorus, then brought in the band.
Hosanna (Hillsong), led by Liza Odachowski, she did a fabulous job!

Closing:
Russ Hutto led us in “Surrender” and did a fabulous job. Prior to singing, we just played softly while we meditated on some Scriptures and prayed. It was so peaceful. God was moving!

As an extra … one cool surprise this morning? Sonny Perdue, the Governor of our great State of Georgia right there on about the 3rd or 4th row. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t read my blog everyday (haha!), but hey … we were honored to have you, sir!

#sundaysetlists – Worship Recap for SSSCC, Jan 10

Fred McKinnon — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:21:49 +0000

Hey Gang,

Hope you had an awesome weekend. For those who missed the announcement last week, I’ve officially relocated the “Sunday Setlists” blog carnival to it’s new home over at TheWorshipCommunity.Com. I’ll continue to post our worship service recaps here, but I’d encourage everyone to go over and see all the other recaps from other churches at the weekly “Sunday Setlists” column which is hosted “smack-dab-in-the-middle-of” the homepage at TheWorshipCommunity.Com.

LINK: http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/sunday-setlists-77/

Here’s a snapshot of our worship time at St. Simons Community Church yesterday, Jan 10, 2009:

Walk In: “Glorious” (Paul Baloche Version)
* I first heard this song last summer at the National Worship Leader Conference. Paul led it and Stan Endicott had a big choir backing him up, and it was just … well, “Glorious”. The song starts off kind of slow but builds and really grows on you by the end. It was the first time using this song at SSCC.

Opening Set:
“Love the Lord” (Lincoln Brewster) – a favorite at SSCC
“No Other Name” (Todd Fields, Northpoint Live)
*honestly, we probably “over do” this song, but it’s short, easy, and singable. You don’t find many songs like that these days!

Middle Set:
Special Music: “God Speaking” (Mandisa version) with our own Kim Dixon. She did a wonderful job on this challenging song and the band did a fantastic job covering the arrangement.

Communion Set:
“Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone”
“This is the Gift of God” (Carl Cartee)
“Christ Has Risen” (Matt Maher, love, love, love, love this song!)

It seemed that the congregation was engaged and I had several comments about the special music and the closing song. For the first time in a while, I had a complaint about volume. This complaint came just before walking on stage to minister that evening which is frustrating. I’m not sure why folks have to dump a complaint or suggestion on you just before you are about to minister. For all those reading this who feel like you need to make suggestions or complaints to your ministry team, please … wait until after Sunday.

So if you’re reading this … consider leaving your own worship service recap by visiting TheWorshipCommunity.Com. You don’t have to blog about it, you can leave your own recap right there in the comments.

Sunday Setlists – A New Year, A New Home for #sundaysetlists

Fred McKinnon — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 16:40:10 +0000

Hey Folks,

Well, it’s a new year, 2010 … and to celebrate the new year, I’ve decided to pack up the “Sunday Setlists” blog carnival that has been hosted here for over a year and move it to a place where it will get even more exposure and participation … TheWorshipCommunity.Com.

So from now on, TWC will be the “hub” for “Sunday Setlists” and I’ll be posting our worship service recaps here as a regular person! So … without further ado, here we go.

Sunday Setlist for St. Simons Community Church
Sunday, Jan 3 2010

It was our first service of the year and we had a limited, short rehearsal on Saturday morning, Jan 2. As a result, we opted to do familiar material with the exception of one new song, my favorite “Christ Is Risen” by Matt Maher.

Here’s a glimpse of our production sheets from PlanningCenterOnline.

Walk In: “Everlasting God”
Opening Song: “Glory to God Forever”

Second Set of Songs:
“Marvelous Light” (led by Shannon Lewis, one of our favorite songs at SSCC)
“Lead Me to the Cross” (led by Michele May, great job girl!)

“Christ Is Risen” (Matt Maher, I heard this song at the National Worship Leader Conference last summer and have been waiting nearly 6 months to introduce it. I love, love, love this song! After the services I had more people than I can count who found me to say how much they loved the tune.)

Sermon: “Above the Noise”, Part 1.
We’re starting a new series called “Above the Noise” – hearing God’s voice through the noise of life. In Pastor David’s absense, we had Larry Wade, one of SSCC’s Edlers who did the teaching and it was fantastic. Larry is an awesome storyteller/teacher and really pegged us with a new year’s question …

“what is God saying to me”?

To close things out I thought it would be appropriate to sing “Heart of Worship” which went over well.

It was great to be back!

My Worship Confessional for SSCC

My church, St. Simons Community Church, was born in a home. A few families came together with a vision of how church could be. They shared together as a church family in a living room, eventually a rented facility, and over the years, the church has grown and now we occupy a state-of-the-art, 74,000 ft2 facility.

On the final Sunday of the year, our tradition goes back to the home. We don’t hold corporate services, and encourage families to do be the “church” and have “church” at home. The staff has the week between Christmas and New Years off, and it’s a wonderful time of sabbatical for us all.

So, my recap today? Well, my wife and daughter went to Free Chapel up here in Gainesville, GA where we’re visiting my in-laws. Me? I slept until after 8:00 (that’s a big deal) and have enjoyed not having to be ANYWHERE. It’s a great sense of rest and peace to not be hurried. I normally would visit a church up here but decided that today I’ll commune with God in my own prayers, in fellowship with my family, and sharing together.

My Worship Confessional for SSCC

So we had a hilarious goof today in our 9:00 service. Just before the sermon we had a cool sermon intro video that was supposed to play. Well the guy operating the video presenter had just opened our “livestream” page on the same computer, not thinking about the audio that would be present. So just as it was time to pull the volume for the sermon intro video you hear this Vaseline commercial that plays for 30-seconds at the beginning of our broadcast on LiveStream … hahaha … thankfully, everybody just laughed it off!

There was a lot happening today so we had a limited amount of music. I changed things up by doing a jazz instrumental version of “Go Tell it On the Mountain” as our “walk-in” song which was a lot of fun.

Then, we opened up with a traditional version of “Hark the Herald Angels Sing“.

After announcements, we did “Mighty to Save” and a special performance of Downhere’s Christmas song, “How Many Kings“.

Pastor David’s sermon and post-sermon financial update to the church body went a lot longer than planned (although not longer than expected!) so we were unable to do our final song, “Jesus Messiah” … so we did it anyway while people were dismissed.

For the last 4 weeks we’ve had a lot of extra stuff going on … which is OK, but honestly, I’m ready to get back to a regular service. All the extras make planning a bit more difficult and I just get this feeling that we’re not at our best. That’s why we call these “worship confessionals”.

My Worship Confessional for SSCC

Good services today. Both services felt heavy, somewhat disconnected from the get-go. Maybe it was just me! Maybe it was the colder, dreary weather. Maybe people were just tired. Or more likely, it was a spiritual fog … you could feel it. Nevertheless, we had a good day and I’m sure lives were challenged and changed for the Kingdom.

Walk In:
“Gloria/In Excelsis Deo” (Mercy Me)

Opening Song:
“Glory to God Forever” (Fee/Beeching)

Middle Worship Set:
“O Come All Ye Faithful”
“Agnus Dei”
“Hosanna”

I moved to the piano on the middle set and enjoyed a more acoustic sound. Russ Hutto moved from acoustic guitar to cover keyboard/strings, and Kimbo, our electric guitarist, moved over to acoustic – so we had no electric at all. Personally, I liked the arrangements a lot!

Closing Song:
The Glorious Impossible (Cartee)

This song fit perfectly with the new sermon series, “Just Like Us” as we study the reality of Jesus being fully God, yet fully human.

Today was a great day leading at St. Simons Community Church. I was joined by Kim Dixon and the rest of our incredible band in leading both services.

Walk In:
Beautiful One

Opening Song:
“For All You’ve Done” (Hillsong, one of our church standards now)

Second Set:
“Revelation Song”
“A Mighty Fortress” (Christy Nockels version)

(we got to use this loop that I created for this song)

Closing Song:
When We All Get To Heaven
(Our Middle School Youth Pastor, Justin Davidson, brought the house down with an incredible word today about how the party will be in heaven, and how we embrace His kingdom here on earth will help us be ready for the party in heaven, so this old-school hymn was jazzed up, colored up, and pulled off with lots of energy and fun to end with celebration!)

My Worship Confessional for SSCC

Wow, what an incredible weekend. Today was perhaps one of the most intense days of my 2-1/2 years of ministry at SSCC because not only did I lead worship in both services, I taught in both services too. Today was “Compassion Sunday” for us and I had the privilege of teaching in our main services about the ministry of Compassion International. My goal was that at least 100 children would be sponsored from today’s presentation. I don’t have any tally on that this afternoon but I know that well over 100 packages went home with folks! Now, I pray that the packets will return with sponsorship information.

Typically I choose to not be the primary worship leader when I’m teaching in a service but I didn’t have that luxury this week as all of our normal worship leaders were “blocked out” for this Sunday in PlanningCenterOnline. I was also notified about 1/2 way through our sound check this morning that our electric guitar player was sick and wouldn’t make it. We missed him, but the mix and music sounded great regardless.

I’m worn out, just finished an intense nap, and have some dear friends arriving in about an hour so my wife and I can enjoy a Sunday evening date. Can’t wait.

One of the ways we worshiped today was by bringing food and grocery gifts to stock a food pantry ministry at another church on the mainland. As I watched people bringing stacks and stacks of groceries up to the altar and I thought of how they sacrificed this week to be able to purchase extra food for this ministry, I realized this was a profound act of worship.

As for the musical selections – it was a shorter list this week since both Pastor David Yarborough and myself did teaching.

Walk In:
“Glorious One” (Fee)

Opening Song:
“Everything That has Breath” (oldie but a goodie!)

Transition to 2nd Set:
After some brief welcome, I transitioned from the fast song into the slower set of worship music by talking about how our bringing the food and groceries for the poor was just as much a part of our worship as singing and playing music. I think people connected with that idea.

Worship:
Doxology (I’m loving the arrangement on the Don Poythress CD from Integrity)
How Great is our God

Sermon: Go, Part 3
Pastor David shared about “living” a sermon, and not just hearing one … how we’re called to “Go”. I gave a presentation on Compassion International.

Closing Song:
If You Say Go (Vineyard)

My Worship Confessional for SSCC

We’re in Week 2 of 3 of our “Go” Series. Hundreds of us spent yesterday over on the mainland in an area of town that a lot of people tend to avoid. We adopted 21 houses, and cleaned yards, built porches, painted, remodeled, patched, and loved on some people! It ended with a huge cookout in that neighborhood … it was truly a “church” experience … God’s people, together, loving our neighbor, serving and living together. As a result, there was a great energy and excitement today at SSCC when we gathered together for our corporate worship.

Walk In:
“O Taste and See” – Brian and Jenn Johnson

Opening Song:
“Marvelous Light” – Shannon Lewis normally leads this song, but I’ve missed it and gave it a whirl. Love the song!

Second Session:
“Hosanna” (Brooke Fraser, Hillsong)
“Surrender” (Vineyard)

Special: “Where You Go, I’ll Go” (Brian Johnson)
Awesome special with Liza, one of our youth. She’s owned this song and she’s been singing it at youth group. It’s a powerful song and she did a great job with a sincere, authentic spirit of worship. We also welcomed Jimmy Van Boxel to the praise team this week on bass, and he played the big stand up bass on this tune. It was awesome!

Sermon: Go – A Missional Lifestyle (Part 2 of 3)

We’d scheduled “If You Say Go” as our closer again this week but Pastor David had other plans and ended the service without a closing song. It was effective and brought about a great day with two powerful worship services.

My Worship Confessional for SSCC

Though our normal time of singing was cut short by 1 song (for extra time on baby dedications in both services), we had a sweet, great time in worship today at St. Simons Community Church.

Walk In:
“Glorious” (Martha & Dan Munizzi/Israel Houghton) … we used the Ableton Live track from Interactive Worship Live, and it rocked!

Opening Song:
“Glory to God Forever” (Steve Fee/Vicky Beeching, maybe my favorite driving rock tune right now!)

Second Set:
We did baby dedications a bit different today. We had all of them come forward and then we had elders and/or staff pray for the families as we continued in corporate singing. I chose a hymn that was appropriate for us to sing in giving our lives to God, and to sing “in faith” for the children who were being dedicated.

“Take My Life and Let It Be” (the older CFNI/Kari Jobe version)
“Revelation Song” (one of our church favorites!)

Sermon: Part 1 of 3 of a new series called “Go” …

Closing Song:
“If You Say Go” (Vineyard)

My Worship Confessional for SSCC

It was great to be leading again at SSCC this morning – by first time leading a full worship service in a few weeks. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the GA/FL game, Halloween, and Daylight Savings Time happening on the same Saturday prior to the services.

The 9:00 AM service was packed and was quite lively. This was a big surprise for me. The 11:00 AM service was also pretty packed; though they came in a good bit later. They also TOTALLY ignored my invitation to stand and sing along on the end of the “walk-in” song – so much that I’m pretty sure that my vocals weren’t up enough in the house mix for them to understand what I’m saying. I’ve never had the entire room just ignore me when I say “let’s stand and sing” …

Walk In:

“When We All Get to Heaven” – my own rendition of this song with a funky/jazz groove all the way through 4 verses, ending with a campmeeting style, double-time chorus!

Opening Song:
“You, You Are God” (Walker Beach, my arrangement as recorded on “Worship Under the Stars”)

Middle Set:
“Glorious Impossible” (Carl Cartee, heard this song at the re:create conference this year and fell in love with it. It’s the 2nd time doing it)
“Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone” (a favorite and standard)
“You Gave Your Life Away” (Paul Baloche, one of my favorite tunes right now, super sweet and clean)

Sermon: Last week “Lost & Found” – Prodigal Son series … Pastor David (blog) did a great job as always.

Closing Song:
“Home” (Daughtry, a great way to take a well-known secular song and use it for God’s glory … we did tweak a couple of lines in the Chorus)
