My Worship Recap for St. Simons Community Church

Today was one of those days where I intentionally scheduled myself OFF the stage.  Turns out it was a good thing because I’m feeling pretty crappy right now – sinus, pollen, cold – just wiped out, and so ready to go to sleep. Read more »

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the 34th consectuive week of “Sunday Setlists” – a blog carnival where we all share a recap of our worship services.  Thanks to all of you who have been participating.  A few questions I get every week:

1 – What if our services aren’t on Sunday?  NO PROBLEM – it’s called “Sunday Setlists” because that’s when I post this … you can post recaps from your Sunday services, Saturday services, Mid-Week, or any special events.  If you are a touring worship band, share your setlists from your concerts!

2 – I don’t have a blog.  NO PROBLEM – leave your recap as a comment below!

3 – I’m not the Worship Leader.  NO PROBLEM – we welcome (and encourage) recaps from the “congregation” point of view.

4 – I didn’t lead this Sunday, I was off.  GREAT – give us your perspective from “off” the stage!

How to Participate

Checkout the full details here.  Simply:
1.  Blog about your worship service(s).  (Don’t have a blog, see #2 above!)

My Worship Confessional

So today was a different day for me as the Worship Pastor here at SSCC.  This was my view:

Yep – today, I scheduled myself OFF the platform, and ON the mixer.  I had the pleasure of mixing FOH today.  Thankfully, I had our Tech Director, Travis Paulding, next to me in case I blew something up.  He was producing today.

I think it’s important as a Worship Pastor to develop leaders – and to give them their space.
* sing with me while I lead
* I’ll sing and play with you while YOU lead
* You lead

Kim Dixon led the worship today, and she did an exceptional job.  Kim is a natural and has the voice of an angel.  I worked with Kim on song selection, keys, etc., but let her do the bulk of the rehearsing and arranging.  Here’s the setlist for today at SSCC with Kim leading:

Walk In:  Come, Now is the Time to Worship
Opening Song:  I Have Found (Kim Walker)
*Break*
Second Set:
Your Grace is Enough
How Great is our God

*Special*
Held (Natalie Grant)

*Video Testimony*  (will post video later this week)

*Sermon*
“The First Half was Great, The Second Half was the Pits” (Guest, Bill Barrow)
We are in Week 3 of 6 in our series on the Book of Job, “When it Hurts”.  He did an awesome job.

Closer:
“Rescue” (Desperation Band)

Today’s service was really strong.  The Book of Job always brings some tension into the room.  How many of us really “like” the God that allowed those things to happen to Job.  The special music “Held” went directly into a powerful video testimony of a lady in our church who’d lost her son.  We found out after the 9:00 service that some guests came today who’d just lost an infant to SIDS a few weeks ago.  Wow, what a week to show up for the first time.

At the conclusion you could see lots of people praying and responding to the Word of God.  Next week will provide evey more opportunity for people to respond as we tackle “wrestling with God”.

I look forward to seeing what everybody else is doing today!  So go for it!

Particpants:

Enter your Name and the URL to your actual blog (c’mon folks, don’t enter blog homepage URL’s here!  They will be deleted.  Homepage links look like this:  yourname.blogspot.com or yourname.wordpress.com or www.yourdomain.com … we need a FULL URL to your blog post – if you are unsure about this, publish your blog, then click on the blog’s title, and copy THAT URL)

Hey Folks – it’s time to share our worship services again!  You can write a blog about it, do a video “Worship Confessional”, textfessional, recap – whatever you want.  You don’t have to be the Worship Leader, you can just be someone who attended your worship service.  The idea is that we share what we’re doing in our worship services and see what others are doing as well.

To participate, you gotta “follow da rules”:

1.  Blog about your worship service.  (simple enough)
2.  In your blog entry, you must link BACK TO THIS URL:
http://www.fredmckinnon.com/myblog/2008/09/21/sunday-setlists-9

(you may just want to link back here using that URL above and say something like “I’m posting my Sunday Setlist in collaboration with other worshipers at Sunday Setlists blog carnival at FredMcKinnon.Com”)

3.  After you post your blog, and link back here in the blog, please fill out the “Mr. Linky” box below.
IMPORTANT:  the URL you enter must go to your actual “Sunday Setlist” post for this week, not your blog’s homepage or main index page.  Homepage links will be deleted.  Link directly to your post.

4.  Leave a comment below sharing that you’re “in”.

5.  Visit the other links and comment on their blogs if you can!

Sunday Setlist for St. Simons Community Church, Sunday Sept 21, 2008

I’m not leading worship … I’m not even attending … I’m typing this from the JAX airport about to board my flight to Mexico for 8 days of vacation with my wife.  Woo-Hoo!

Kim Dixon is leading at SSCC this morning – so I can report in advance what the Set List includes:

Walk In:  I Have Found (Kim Walker)
Lord Reign In Me
Come Now Is The Time to Worship
Amazed
Beautiful One
Closer:  Center

Today we’ll be installing two new elders.  Pastor David Yarborough will be on Part 2 of the “Jonah” series.

I’ll miss being there this AM – but can’t wait to land in Mexico!

Your Turn!

Hey Everyone -

Just discovered that the live concert video from another one of my songs from the “Worship Under the Stars” DVD is featured at CCLI.Com’s new Video site, CCLITV.

I have already received an email today from someone out there who was really blessed by the song and wants to use it in their corporate worship services. Man, that’s so inspiring and humbling at the same time.

If you have a sec, jump over to CCLITV and watch “Restore My Heart” and leave a comment. “Fix My Eyes” is still over there, too – you may have to refresh the page a few times to see it.

Thanks for all the support, CCLI!

PS:  can’t post this video without giving kudos to Kim Dixon who sang the duet w/ me … wow, she’s awesome.
