Hey, I’m only a week behind. Not bad!
On Sunday, May 31st in eXchange we ceased our corporate gathering about 45 minutes early to go out and serve our community so our musical worship set was only four songs.
We went with a scaled back band (a more acoustic set) that included Scot on acoustic, Chris Austin on djembe, myself on keys and Kelsie on backup vox.
Our plan was to open with Let Us Be but we just couldn’t make it work. We had tempo issues in rehearsal and the song just wasn’t gellin’ like Magellan so we ended up scrapping it and doing O Come Let Us Adore Him (chorus). In the end I was glad we went this direction. Scot lead on vox and kept energy high.
After Scot set up the night we did a three song set. God of Justice (with me on lead vox), Now to Live The Life (Scot on lead vox) and we closed with Mission’s Flame (me on lead vox).
Rehearsal was, overall, somewhat rough so I was a little scared about the final product but worship turned out to be solid. Definitely not our best acoustic set but it was just one of those nights.
Our community normally runs between 500 and 600 and we had nearly half of our people go out and serve the community in real, tangible ways. I’ve got some video and images of Wendy and her crew cleaning gas station toilets that I’ll get posted sometime this week.
