Sunday Rundown 1.18.09.

2009 January 18

by Tyler

Today was the first time of leading worship in 2009 for me today. I led in both services today at Sunset which is a bit unusual. Here are both sets for the morning with the keys in parenthesis:

9am

Oh For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Friend of God (D)
Let the Praises Ring (E)
Made Me Glad (Bb)
For the Beauty of the Earth (F)
Revelation Song (D)
Special: Here I Am (Downhere)

11am

Hosanna (G, Starfield)
All Because of Jesus (A)
Let the Praises Ring (E)
Beautiful One (D)
Revelation Song (D)
Special: Here I Am (Downhere)

Our first practice (on Tuesday) was a rough one. I hadn’t played with the band for 3 weeks at that point and was pretty rusty after vacation. But the practices got much better on Thursday and then this morning.

The special song by Downhere didn’t immediately fit the theme of the message on Genesis 22, but I tried to tie into Abraham’s words in verse 11 when he said “Here I am” and I thought it worked pretty well.

Having 3 songs that were the same in each service always makes it easier on me and the band.

I made sure I went to McDonald’s for a mocha this morning. I have to give credit to them for me being lively and awake this morning. After working at a conference all weekend I was pretty well spent, but the mocha (which I really needed) helped me get through.

Overall, an awesome morning. Band played great and I had some of our best vocalists around me.

Starfield does a nice job on Hosanna.

Love the diversity Tyler. And I’m envious of you having more than one rehearsal a week pre-service. I’d love to do that, just don’t have the opportunity.

This is my first visit to your blog – love the pic Bless you

So you have two rehearsals with the band.. You da man! How do you get them to do that.

I find that having the same song in both services does free up some time…but I forget sometimes whieh service I’m in.

Send me some snow will ya?

Wish we could have been there to worship with you.

Once again, the power of a morning mocha is amazing….

We did “Revelation Song” for the first time this last Wednesday night and it was absolutely powerful!!! Love, love, love it!!!

Gale- Thanks man. What do you mean by interesting?

windbag- Interesting username, we switched to doing Hosanna as done by Starfield because it fit a male vocal lead better and was more upbeat.

David and Jim- 2 practices a week is a huge blessing. Because we do 2 different services (different music and arrangements and style, etc…we really need those 2 practices most weeks. I know I needed them this week. I get the band to do it by no one being on more than twice a month. Most band players are on more like once a month.

Lynne- Agreed, agreed. Most mornings I don’t need one, but I wouldn’t have made it this morning without one.

Steffanie- Our congregation has really grabbed a hold of that song.

Great setlit Tyler. Yeah our band also does Friday night services as well as 9am sunday service. So we pretty much do the same songs. That helps us out with time.

Have to try this Revelation song that everyone’s talking about. Love your header. I can’t really comment because I’m not familiar with most of your songs, but I love that you mix it up. I love the way that you linked in the Special. It’s like weaving…all the colours come together in one glorious masterpiece carfted by God.

OK… so how do you do it mate??? We’re growing and are now looking at a second service… but the idea was having the second service mimicking the 1st service (repeating). How do you get the team to pull it off…?
