We had a great day today. My team pulled a prank on me this morning. Last week I mentioned that folks were calling me trendy because I was wearing a scarf. So my team all put scarves on for the first song. It had me laughing so hard inside that I could hardly pay attention.
After the welcome, I read Hebrews 13:5-6 encouraging the church that He never leaves us nor forsakes us solidifying this thought by singing You Never Let Go. We took some time to let the song Sing To The King breathe by adding more music to the moment. Worked our way straight into Beautiful King.
Something we’ve been really focusing on and our team has been picking up on real well this year is transitions. I’ve been spending a little more thought on working our way from one song to another (more thought than normal) and Heather (keys) has stepped up her ability by providing some pads during low dynamic times. The last two weeks, transitions have really went well.
Last night we had our first Encounter Worship where we gathered for and hour and a half and spent time in God’s presence by singing and praying and reading His word corporately as well as individually. With no agenda but to meet God, it gives the band an opportunity to relax and work on trying new things with their instruments. It went really well. God was in the place last night. People were on their knees and praying, singing and getting before God. Since our church is going through the 21 Days of Fasting, it providing an immeasurable sense of intimacy before God to pray and seek Him.
If you’re in our area and you missed Encounter Worship, our next one will be Good Friday. You DO NOT want to miss that one.
