Worship Prefessional – Sunday, June 1, 2008

Wow – I can’t believe that tomorrow will actually be the first day of June. That is crazy in my books. Especially because it doesn’t even really feel like summer has started yet. We have had moments of warmth but lots of moments of coolth as well.

Okay – prefessional. Haven’t done one of these in a while but the basic idea is that I talk about what we’re hoping will happen on Sunday before we actually get there. We’re in week three of our “Rest Area” series and the first two mornings have been amazing. Our associate pastor, Dan Brubacher, is preaching tomorrow and I think we’ve got a good service put together. Here’s what’s on the lineup -

New Doxology – Gateway – F
Yesterday, Today & Forever – Vicky Beeching – A
Offering/Announcements
All The Earth – Paul Baloche – E
Everlasting God – Brenton Brown – A
Be Still And Know That I Am God – ?? – D
Message – Be Still – Psalm 46
Be Still And Know – Steven Curtis Chapman – A

Alright. That’s a good looking morning. A few things that I’m excited about -

1. New Doxology from Gateway. Check it out if you haven’t heard it yet and pick up the click/loop track from PraiseCharts, too. Good stuff. We’ve done this before with the additional lyrics but it’s the first time we’ll be adding the new chorus. Our congregation really likes this song and it will be a good opener
2. Yesterday, Today & Forever – I sent a Twitter message to Vicky Beeching today asking her what she does vocally and musically in between the “Always loving, always true” and “Always merciful and good” lines. There’s two bars there and I always feel awkward at that spot – it feels like I should be doing something. When you play that song, what do you do there?
3. We’re closing with a little response opportunity for our congregation where they’ll be able to interact with the message and the passage – I’ll give more details in my confessional but I’m looking forward to it. While that is happening I’ll be playing that SCC song – I wonder if he’s been listening to any of his own music over the past week or so.

So there you go. I’ll post my confessional next week but leave some comments and let me know what you’re planning this weekend too!
