This morning we started setup a bit early to make sure we had enough time to rehearse our songs. Due to some schedule/summer conflicts we canceled our weekly rehearsal. We had more than enough time to run through everything we needed, with time to spare. Everything went really smoothly, musically. We tagged “I Exalt Thee” on the end of “All We Need” and it was really sweet. This was our second week singing “Make Way for Me a Sinner” and I could see and hear people getting more involved in the song now that they know it. Success!
We are in a bit of heat wave here in Portland, and since we meet in a (non a/c’d) school, it was a bit on the warm side, even at 10:30 this morning. However, some brilliant, loving soul thought to bring the makings for iced coffee for everyone. It was completely amazing, especially since we get Stumptown (the most delicious coffee, ever).
Tell me – how was your Sunday? Does anyone else get to do church in a non air conditioned building?
We also did I Stand Amazed..Love it!
However, we have the opposite of a heat wave in PA. This may turn out to be the coldest July since 1962…
Our sanctuary is air conditioned. But… it doesn’t come on until an hour before service, so rehearsal was HOT!
But then our service was pretty hot too… just in a batter way.
We do church in a non-airconditioned building, which is fine for around 80% of the year. But during the height of summer in January, it’s heinous.
In winter, we wheel out the jet-powered gas heaters. They work a little too well sometimes 🙂
It’s always great when people start to learn new songs and really take to them too.
I love I Stand Amazed…. you introduced me to that song- so i’m grateful!
Looks like you guys had a great day!
Not familiar with Make A Way… – I’ll have to look that one up! We are introducing Desert Song this week as the offertory. Probably will have the congregation sing soon!
