My Sunday Setlist:
Overview: today was the 4th and final day in our “Break Free” series at SSCC. I was pretty exhausted and terribly weak in voice from a week of sickness, followed by a weekend of camping and a late drive home last night. If I had to do it all over again, I would’ve taken the weekend off and scheduled someone else to lead. I’m glad it worked out because we had two great worship services today.
Walk-in:
“Glorious” (Martha Munizzi) 
This is such a fun song. We are using a click-track and loop from Ableton Live that I created which keeps us on tempo, and adds some percussion and horns to fill out the band.

Opening Set:
“You, You Are God” (song by Walker Beach recorded on CFNI and Gateway worship, but my version from Worship Under the Stars)
“Glorious One” (Steve Fee)
Second Set:
“Be Unto Your Name” (Robin Mark, Revival in Belfast)
“Great is Thy Faithfulness” (trad. hymn, piano/ vocals only)
“Piano Interlude” (myself)
Closer:
Shackles (Mary Mary)
Overview:
All in all, a great morning. The energy of an opener like “Glorious” is always a great kick off. Although “Glorious One” is a driving rock song, our people seem to really chime in on the Chorus. I drop it to the Key of C to make it more singable.
I *really* love the old “Be Unto Your Name” song by Robin Mark. Our people start singing aloud instantly. From that, the band slipped off stage while I played an intro to the classic hymn, “Great is Thy Faithfulness”. Kim Dixon led the verses and the people sang aloud. The Chorus was full and it was a beautiful sound of worship to me.
We closed out our service with “Shackles” as we closed out our series, “Break Free” on fear. It was very appropriate and the crowd really enjoyed it. I had more people than ever come up and say “I wish we could dance more like that”. I wanted to say “why don’t you!?” I’m sure we’ll get some complaints too, but that’s OK. This song is a blast to play and we had a ton of fun praising God in it.
Now it’s your turn. Share about your worship service and visit the other links. Add your link below.

If you aren’t sure how do to this, publish your blog, then go to your blog’s homepage, and click the TITLE of your post. That will open that entry – copy/paste THAT URL into the Mr. Linky below)

Fred, glad you’re taking steps to protect your health. I need to do something like that, although I did join the gym. I’m thinking of signing up with a personal trainer too.
Anyway, today has been a tough day for me for no determinable reason. I just felt extremely anxious which made leading hard. So go read about it!
yes, one day I will be number one as well…until then, i can only dream…
Doh! Sorry Fred…I too double posted. But my problem was a setup issue with WP. Just delete the first one!
GB,
Kip
Looks like everyone had great weekends! God is good!
Yo, I”m in.
I’m amazed at how fast people are… I had my Setlist done, and was watching twitter for Fred to Post his.. as soon as it was posted, I went to link mine, thinking I was the only one waiting.. sure enough, I still ended up #4!!
I checked the site all afternoon for the new post, then got busy doing something else, and missed it, ending up 17.
I was too impatient to wait for #42 this week. 😉
Kudos to everyone participating, and thanks to Fred for hosting.
I love this community! You guys rock!
We had a great day at our place.
Fred, thanks for continuing to do this because I believe that it is a great opportunity to help serve worship leaders all over the country.
Coupla’ weeks ago #1, this week #47 … oh well at least in the top 50.
We had a great service, guest speaker and a guest communion leader.
Thank you God for how you have blessed our congregation with leadership!
Hope you’re feeling better Fred!

Great service, baptized a single person and was proud of our church for not canceling because more didn’t sign up. It was awesome to rejoice with them in service and see the joy of Christ manifest before us.
I made it by Monday! Yeah!
looooove Be Unto Your Name. such a great song. i like to use it for communion.
I just had to come back by and say how grateful I am that Fred spearheads this project. I get so much encouragement and so many fresh ideas visiting the blogs of all you here. Thanks for participating and serving, y’all.
Hey Fred, I can’t see the “Blog Carnival” so I’m not sure if I’m too late in the game or if you changed things up or if Firefox is being quirky.
Anyway! Shackles! Awesome.
We had KidStuf this week!
I’m back… again… no really… I am!!!!
I’m not seeing “Mr Linky” either so I’ll just leave a link to my setlist: http://www.mandoron.com/2009/05/05/sunday-setlist-may-3-2009/
it’s great to be back this week…(for some reason having child #2 takes time away from blogging)…can’t wait to look through the setlists and see what God is up to!!!
thanks Fred!
Great is Thy Faithfulness with piano and vocals only. Beautiful. I can just imagine it.
