This post is a part of Sunday Setlists.
This week was our first week at Lewis Elementary since the first Sunday in December. Being honest, I had pretty low expectations on attendance. I knew a few families that were out of town and when you’re a small church coming back after a long break, things could be smaller than usual. But, boy was I wrong. All these people just showed up – mostly from the neighborhood.
This Sunday I co-lead with another guitar player. We also had a guest percussionist, a very talented girl woman? my age. I might blog about this soon, but it’s worth mentioning here: whenever I’ve been a part of leading a worship team, it has always ended up that I am surrounded by all these talented women coming out of the woodwork. I think that’s odd, because in all my churchy experiences I’ve seen male dominated worship bands.
Our setlist:
Beautiful One - A I lead this as our opening song. We took a short break for coffee and dismissed the kids to their classes.
Desert Song – D This is one of my favorite worship songs right now. I love singing it, leading it, talking about it. I shared a little before we sang it.
Mighty to Save – A This is the first time we’ve done this super popular song. I noticed it on a lot of the other set lists I was perusing for this Sunday. It seemed like a lot of the people already knew it – it is quite overplayed on Christian radio right now. Great song though! Nate lead this.
Cannons – G Second week for this new song. People are catching on. Nate lead this- I like to sing it in D or Eb.
God of Wonders – G My husband commented to me after the service “Lots of galaxy songs today, huh?”. I guess so! We did this as a medley with Cannons.
Nothing But the Blood - D Communion song. We did the original version, not the Mat Redman song. I lead this song.
Our worship team:
Nate – Acoustic guitar and lead vocals
Janaki – Acoustic guitar and lead vocals
Krys – Backup vocals
Alice – Percussion
Cannons? Who is that by?
So is your church a new start?
Awesome setlist, we also do Beautiful One. Love your song selections
@jim – Cannons is by Phil Wickham. You should definitely download his album ‘Singalong’ – I think it’s free on his website. And yes, our church (lifehouseportland.com) is brand new – we’ve been meeting weekly since the fall and our “launch” service is on the 18th.
