Sunday Setlist Recap - March 1, 2009

This was a really rough weekend for me personally and corporately as a praise team. On Wednesday the 25th (just before service) we received news that one of our members (a 17 year old singer) lost her father. He was only 49 years old, was saved, but didn't attend church regularly. His daughter has been rehearsing with us for about 2 months and had just began performing with us, so her dad had never seen/heard her praising God! So with heavy hearts we continued on with our dress rehearsal and then performed.

Even though I only work 3 days a week (12 hours per night) every so often my schedule includes a weekend that has me working from 2pm - 2am on Friday and Saturday and 5pm - 5am on Sunday. This weekend was one of such weekends! To add to the sleeplessness...I was asked to perform at the funeral of our singer's dad's funeral, which was on Saturday at 10am (I had to be there at 9am). I was honored and humbled to be asked and quickly agreed, not quite realizing that after getting home from work on Saturday morning at 3:30am I would have to be up and leave for the funeral by 7:30 am! Yes, all you math whizzes are right...that's only 4 hours of sleep! Hang on it gets better!
After the funeral, I had to drive home (about 45-60 miles) and get ready to be at work by 2pm, work my 12/12 1/2 hours, get home from work around 3:30am...be up and ready to leave for Sunday dress rehearsal by 7:30am (yep, once again 4 hours), perform for service till 12 noon.
Now normally, this is where I can catch up on some sleep as I don't have to be at work until 5pm, so I can realistically grab out 3 1/2 hours. However, on this Sunday I was being blessed after service, by the Baptism of my daughter (she's about to turn 11). Ofcourse, if the baptism service would have been right after church it wouldn't have been so bad...but, it wasn't scheduled until 2pm! Did I mention that we live about an hour away from church? I did? Okay, anyway. So instead of coming home and resting prior to the baptism, we just stayed in town, grabbed some lunch and goofed off!
So, the baptism lasts till 3pm, I get home at 4pm and was able to lie down for oh...30 minutes maybe! Then it was off to work at 5pm, where I walked the hospital equivalent of a mini-marathon, and wasn't able to leave on time; but had to stay over until 6am. So long story short...its been a loooooonnnnng weekend!

Anyway! Here's the setlist:

• Everybody Will Be Happy (C)
• My Redeemer Lives (C-D) Hillsong
• Amazing Love (D) Newsboys
• Here With Me (B) Mercy Me
• Lord I Give You My Heart (G) Reuben Morgan/Darlene Zschech

Sunday Service Recap-February 15,2009

Mt. Zion Praise Team
Sunday Service Recap
February 15, 2009

Well, as you can see below, I had had the thought of just posting a link to our setlist and in that way save space...however after looking at it from a viewers perspective, I quickly changed my mind! So here is our set list for this Sunday:

1. Still Standing-C#m (Hillsongs)
2. Great God-E (Israel Houghton)
3. Here With Me-E (Mercy Me)
4. How Great Thou Art-F
5. All About You-E (Israel Houghton)

Instead of taking up space here in my blog, I've decided to just link the setlist from Sunday in the header above (Click on: "Sunday Service Recap"). This will save space and will allow you to see the set list in the same manner that we see it in each week.

We will be continuing "The Love Dare" series from Pastor Josh (see previous post for info).

Sunday Service Recap 1/25/09

Well service went rather well today, with just one or two exceptions (I'll elaborate below). Our Setlist for today was:

• All Because of Jesus
• No Sweeter Name
• All My Praise
• Heart of Worship
• For Who You Are

I was really pumped to play today for two main reasons:

1. I was going sans-amp today for the first time! As many of you know or perhaps you don't, we've been having trouble with our wedge/floor monitors as well as stage volume bleeding over into the FOH (Front of House). We've (myself included) been having volume battles... "I can't hear the bass", turn the amp up; which leads to : "I can't hear the guitar", turn the amp up! All of this knob fighting results in decreased clarity up on stage (because then the singers can't be heard, and they're turned up in the monitors which are too loud to begin with!), bleed over into the sanctuary, and overall musical mud! Since Our God is a God of order and not chaos, and as an act of good faith on my part, I was the first to voluntarily sacrifice my sweet sounding amp that my loving dear wife bought me! All I can say is...much better! It will take some getting used to, Joel and I are going to try and work on tweaking the eq and arrange for differences between my electric and the acoustic-electric. So as it stands now, my setup is as follows:Dean Electric,Dean Acoustic-Electric,Line 6 Pod XT Live, Direct Box, Samson Wireless Setup(See Below).
   

   This is now an open challenge to my fellow amped brother's in Christ...LAY DOWN YOUR AMPS!

2. Also, to aid in the decreasing of visible clutter (to go along with the musical clutter) I went out and bought a Samson wireless for my guitars! However, I was so excited to play with it last night, that I overslept, and walked out without the ac adapter for the base unit!!!!! Aggh, oh well...there's always Wednesday night service.
   

As far as the sermon today, Pastor Josh continued on our "The Fast and the Furious" Series. Since yesterday was the final day of the church's 21 day fast, pastor spoke to us about what God is doing for us as a Church Body, Campus Church, and Individually.
Although we were suppose to start going to two Sunday Services next month, using the newly installed projector and screen, it looks like now we are going to focus on completing the pavilion project (turning the outdoor pavilion into a full fledged building), which will be used on Wednesday nights by the youth and on Sundays as a Cafe style service and will use the screen and projector.

That's all for now.

Goodbye 2008!!!

Well we ended the year with a sermon from Pastor Larry Booth. He is Pastor Ben's father, and he and his wife came down from Ottawa, Canada (and brought the cold weather Ben says!).  His message was timely and pertinent to this church/body at this particular time.  The sermon was titled: "You have not passed this way before!"  Basically, preaching from Joshua 2 & 3, Pastor Larry spoke of answering 5 important questions:

1. Will you let God use someone that you wouldn't pick to use?
2. Will you move when God moves?
3. Will you let God sanctify you?
4. Will you go where you've never been?
5. Will you go, even if it is not convenient?

# 4 is very important to this church right now, with all the new changes that we are about to undertake, it can seem to be overwhelming and as if we are betraying our principles and doctrine. In Joshua 3:3-4 we see that the Israelites are told:

3When you shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord our God, and our priests and the Levites bearing it, you shall depart from your places, and you shall go after it.
4 But let there be a distance between you and it; you shall stand as much as two thousand cubits from it. Do not draw near to it, that you may know the way which you are to go; for you have not gone the way before.

The Israelites were told not to follow to close to the Ark, so that they could see when it went left or went right...so that they could know where God was going. Pastor Larry pointed out that sometimes we are so focused on tradition that we forget to keep our focus on Christ...yes the traditions were of God, but they are not God!  Perhaps we should in this new year keep an open mind, heart and eye toward the new things that God is doing in this church.


God Bless & Happy New Year
Kip
