Both services went well. Felt like the people were engaged and praying these songs. Eric closed out the service at StoneBridge for me. I was able to hear the sound check, he played “You Are Worthy” by Jon Shirley. This is a new song to me… but sounds great. It’s worth a listen. Last week Grace talked about the Biblical evidence of Creation, and this week we brought in a guy to talk to about the scientific evidence of Creation. Even though Grace did two songs (one before and one after the message), we ended the service with “Indescribable.” It was a very fitting way to worship after talking about the physical evidence out there that proclaims there is a God.

Overall both services went really well. StoneBridge’s service was really neat because the service was structured around using “hymns,” it was really neat to watch the congregation’s reaction to these songs…. the words have a great depth that is often hard to find in many songs of today.

Grace learned “I Will Boast” which ended up being a bigger trouble because the projector went out before the service. Luckily our secretary was thinking and grabbed a copy of our music and ran photocopies for the congregation. It was kind of a quirky thing and it was a challenge for me as a worship leader. Typically I can rely on the video guy to cue the congregation in as to where we’re going in the song… but this week I had to give more verbal cues than normal.

A couple signifiant elements this week. It was 4th of July weekend and Grace wanted a few elements that reflected that (i.e. video & the children’s choir). Both churches were having communion this week. Dan (a fellow worship leader who often helps me out with the dual services) told me that he loves the hymn “When I Survey,” but never cared too much for the chorus of Chris Tomlin’s “The Wonderful Cross.” But he found that Tim Hughes’ “Beautiful One” fit really well with the song. Anyway, both services turned out to be really great services this week. I put the actual format of the service rather than just listing the songs this week.

Here’s what we did this weekend. At both churches we sang 1 less song than usual to have a time of reflection. This was before the song “Give Us Clean Hands.” The premise of the reflection was this: Sunday mornings are typically stressful for most families. We are trying to get ready to go to church, and when we get there we haven’t had a chance to reflect on God, let alone come with hearts ready to worship. We took a few minutes to just pause, pray individually, and make sure that each of us were prepared to worship. The purpose of that moment seemed to be effective. I heard (by word of mouth) that several people felt like that moment was especially important for them because their life has been extra busy lately. Definitely God ordained.
