Sunday Set List: “With no drummer, we went Mumford”

Faced with the reality of having no drummer this past service we were forced to come up with some creative arrangements and new feels for songs. It was actually really fun, albeit a lot of work, to do. We ended up going with 2 different feels inside the set, 2 of the songs we played [...]

Sunday Set List: “Awake My Soul – Mumford & Sons”

I’ve been listening to Mumford & Sons “Sigh No More” record with equal parts enjoyment and intrigue.

Sunday Set List: “Let our hearts revive”

I started the worship service with a Psalm that’s been on my heart and lips for the past week or so. Psalm 69:29-32: “But I am afflicted and in pain; let your salvation, O God, set me on high! I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. [...]

Sunday Set List: “Community and Members”

A few weeks ago we rolled out our new home group/community group/gospel community structure and I’m shocked at how much grace God has shown. Our groups are really taking off, people are engaging in community and I really think it’s building a sense of true love and commitment to one another in the body. This [...]
