Sunday Set List - “MTV Day”

Tagged Under : , , , , , , ,

Last week I mentioned MTV would be in our Sunday service filming a for a follow-up episode of Made. It was just a single camera man so there wasn’t a huge footprint, he did well to blend into the congregation and not be a distraction. So much so I had no idea he was filming me right behind me during worship and I did kind of a hop back jam move and almost crashed into him. There’s no more dangerous place to be than around me when I choose to dance.

We didn’t really do anything different in preparation this week besides having designated a “Producer” for the service, but that decision was already made before the MTV thing came around. Service was packed out and everyone seemed really engaged. I tweeted after worship service that the fact that service was packed out was encouraging in one sense and convicting in a few others. I think I’m going to withold my reaction to that fact until after next week. In any case I’m so thankful God showed grace and Mark our producer showed excellence and really the service could not have gone any better. I don’t think we’ve ever pulled off a service without 1 technical issue of some kind, but really I can’t think of much of anything we could have done better. So for that I’m extremely thankful and excited about the salvations that occured and the powerful move of the Spirit in that service. Thank you Jesus!

I’ll have video of it posted in the next few days. Onto the worship set…

  1. We Cry Out - Brian and Jenn Johnson, Kim Walker arrangement (loop available)
  2. Rain Down - Delirious (loop used, not yet published)
  3. How I Live - Kyle Campos (original, loop used, not yet published)
  4. My Jesus I Love Thee
  5. Who You Are - Desperation Band (loop used, not yet published)

I’ve had some emails from people asking for certain loops that I’ve used but not yet published on the site. The reason that I haven’t published some is that I still am modifying them and I’m not yet satisfied with it as a finished product. If you are interested in getting an early release of them just email me and I’ll send it to you.

Sunday Set List - Sick Day

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

Last Sunday I was feeling the onset of a cold. As the week progressed my voice deteriorated, my throat was a mess and I was hoping that it would be better by this Sunday but it wasn’t to be. I asked my bass player, Josh, to step in and lead whatever songs he was comfortable singing and he stepped up and knocked it out of the park. Comforting to have someone with that talent level on the team. We weren’t without some surprises though, Josh snapped a bass string during the morning practice and had no strings with him, so had to find another bass quickly. But other than that, smooth sailing. It was Josh’s first time singing with a click an loops so he was nervous but I don’t think anyone could tell, pulled it off without a hitch.

  1. Everlasting God - Chris Tomlin
  2. Coming Back - Desperation Band
  3. Ready Now - Desperation Band (listen/download loop)
  4. Gloria - Taylor Sorensen, using Tim Smith Arrangement (listen/download to loop)
  5. How He Loves - John Mark McMillan

Sunday Set List - “Dress Us Up” debut

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

I didn’t feel great about the set going into Sunday, kept making changes, it just didn’t feel connected. For all the spiritual people out there when I say it didn’t feel connected I mean, I didn’t have peace about it. Musically the set went over fine, there seemed to be a general laziness and depression in the church. Maybe it’s everyone’s finances, I don’t know, but we have to focus on this during our prayer before service. I also was nervous about a tough meeting I had after service, so that was weighing on me as well.

Anyhow this was the debut for John Mark’s new song Dress Us Up. It went over like a new song typically goes over, so we’ll give it a couple more weeks and see how people pick it up.

  1. We Cry Out - Brian and Jenn Johnson, Kim Walker arrangement (loop not yet posted)
  2. Dress Us Up - John Mark McMillan
  3. How Great Is Our God - Chris Tomlin
  4. Ready Now - Desperation Band (listen/download loop)
  5. Prepare the Way - Charlie Hall
