This was my first Sunday after missing 2 on my vacation in Lake Tahoe. Had an absolutely incredible time, very restful and rejuvenating. This weekend was also our Encounter weekend. If you aren’t familiar with Encounters they are basically a weekend where people are taken through the reality of sin, need for repentance, forgiveness, breaking of generational sin, filling of the Holy Spirit…it’s a super intense weekend for all involved, attendees and leaders. God shows up in power and makes a mess of all of us each time.
This weekend was no exception, so there is always great anticipation for the Sunday that concludes an encounter weekend as drug addicts, prodigals, prostitutes testify to their new freedom in Christ. I’ll blog more about that later. Now for something much less powerful…the Sunday Set List. Those with an asterisk (*) had a loop.
- Solid Rock - Delirious arrangement*
- You Love Me Forever - Merchant Band*
- So Near - Vineyard UK* (link to loop used)
- How He Loves - John Mark McMillan
- Come Thou Fount - (use an arrangement similar to E-pop piano arrangement)
This week’s set was changed almost right up until service time. Things just weren’t falling into place. I spent a solid 4 hours searching for a particular sound I had in my head for Where You Go I Go (Brian & Jenn Johnson) song I was programming a sequence for and I just couldn’t find the right one. I wasn’t happy hearing the loop without that sound so I abandoned that and that kind of threw a monkey wrench into the set. But it ended up going really well and the band handled the last minute changes perfectly.

We at LCC are smack dab in the middle of our series on Worship Culture and unlike many sermons on worship which target postures, we’ve spent zero time on that topic. But as the congregation is getting taught on redeemed worship and dealing with our idolatry the response and engagement in the music portion of worship has grown. This series is fundamental to our maturity as a church and I think to this point people are really grabbing onto it. We were packed out today with a quite a few families missing, so we really need to add another service quick.
I finally got the loop done to a point that was performable for “You Love Me Forever” by the Merchant Band. I’ve had this song in the queue for quite some time but just hadn’t had the time to finish it. Still a lot of room for improvement in the loop so I won’t post it yet, but we pulled it off and I thought it sounded great.
- We Cry Out - Kim Walker
- You Love Me Forever - Merchant Band
- Everything - Tim Hughes
- Our God Reigns - Delirious
- Prepare the Way - Charlie Hall (ended up getting cut)

Programming loops has been a full time job. I don’t have nearly as much time as I need, but each week we build off the last and take another step forward. 4 of the 5 songs had full beginning to end programmed loops. I’ve never played in a band that had this must richness and fullness in live sound. The congregation is adapting to change, I see a lot less attention being paid to the band and that’s a good thing. Hopefully the lack of attention will be due to a consistency in excellence and not because there’s nothing good to pay attention to. Here was our set at Life Connection Church:
- Rain Down - Delirious
- Everything - Tim Hughes
- Gloria - Tim Smith arrangement
- So Near - Vineyard UK
- My Jesus I Love Thee (no loop, guitar only)
This post is part of Fred McKinnon’s Sunday Set List post series. If anyone is interested in hearing the loops for these songs I can post them. Anyone at LCC let me know how the set went.

A few weeks ago I broke up my band and reformed with a different configuration, that entire experience is worthy of at least a few blog posts(stay tuned). The new band is myself on guitar, keys and Ableton duty, Josh on bass, Jonathan on drums and Kendra on vocals. I spend most of my week now programming loops and accompaniment on Reason and Ableton Live. This Sunday was our first set and the band did amazingly well. I was so encouraged by every aspect, instrumentation, congregational participation…it was awesome, God was at work.
Our music is certainly not traditional, pop, contemporary worship sounding so I was very nervous how this next step was going to be received. It was a big step forward for the band and the church. My fears have been laid to rest and I got a good nights sleep last night, which often isn’t the case Sunday nights. This set list is part of Fred McKinnon’s Sunday Set List:
- Rain Down - Delirious
- I Am A Temple - John Mark McMillan
- Gloria - Tim Smith (Mars Hill) arrangement
- Our God Reigns - Delirious
- Who You Are - Desperation Band
I Am A Temple was the only song that did not have any loop with it. I liked the raw rocky drums, electric, bass for that tune, it’s as it was meant to be.
For anyone who was at LCC this past Sunday how did you think the worship music went?
