Ooooh, dusting off the old blog. Here’s a short update:
1. Started school full time in September
2. Working part time (20-30 hours) in an office
3. Working part time for Lifehouse Church (10 hours)
I am BUSY!
Here’s our setlist from Lifehouse Church this morning:
1. I’ll Fly Away
2. All Creatures of Our God and King
3. God of Justice
4. Never Let Go
5. Unashamed
6. Nothing but the Blood
So- a little background: our church is 9 months old, averages about 60 in attendance and we meet in an elementary school in Portland, OR. We set-up and tear down our sound system every. single. sunday. We’ve come across our fair share of problems but today just takes the cake.
In the middle of All Creatures I noticed a little bit of feedback. It quickly grew and encompassed the ENTIRE room – so much so everyone stopped singing and playing and covered their ears. It shook the floor, it was SO loud. We didn’t have a ’sound guy’ this week so it took about 20 seconds until someone could get over to the soundboard and fix it. After several seconds of silence the room just burst out laughing. Even me! I made a joke about “no one having permanent damage” and moved onto the next song. It turned out fine after that!
Have you ever had something that crazy happen in a service?
This post is a part of Sunday Setlists.
That feedback moment this morning was like a spaceship landing in the school or somethin’. I thought you handled it well.
Spaceship! Yes! Or Jesus coming back. I’ve been laughing about it all day actually
Wow! I’ve had feedback before, but not like that. We also are a new church plant, meeting in an Elm School. We set up and tear down every. single. Sunday. as well. Fun stuff.
Was “Nothing But The Blood” the old hymn, or the Matt Redman version?
It was the old school version! Love it! Good to know there are others out there laboring with us
Cool list. Good to see ya back in the blogging saddle!
thanks for sharing your setlist. here’s ours from yesterday:
shout of the king (maher)
salvation is here (hillsong)
glory to God forever (fee)
center (charlie hall)
we crow you (fee)
we meet in a school as well – set-up and tear down weekly for the past six years…
I’m a worship leader for a church plant in Port St. Lucie, Florida (about a year old), and we meet in a YMCA building, and also have the whole set up/tear down every single sunday. This past sunday, one of the singers was holding her baby while she was singing(there wasn’t anybody to watch the kids that day) and the baby start crying, then puked all over her mom. It took a minute before somebody ran up and grabbed the baby, and the singer had to finish worship covered in puke. Stuff like that happens sometimes I guess.
This was our set list from sunday:
No One Like You (David Crowder)
Radiant (E-Pop, from Mars Hill Church)
Because Of Your Love (Phil Wickham)
Come Thou Fount (Hymn)
Before The Throne Of God Above (Hymn)
Oh man, that sounds rough! Thanks for sharing your setlist, I love Before The Throne of God Above. It’s one of my favorites.
