Today we celebrated Communion together. I love to partake of the Lord’s Supper with my church family.  It is always  special time, and today was no different.  We purposefully set a more reflective atmosphere.  We started out with a slower, yet powerful choir song and we also only used an acoustic in our music today.  It was a nice change to make, and went with the atmosphere we were trying to create.  It was a very nice service and there was quite a buzz about the service afterwords. Now, on to the setlist!

Choir Special – Reveal (way to go choir!)

Baptism (It never get sold seeing people take steps towards Christ)

Drama -  A short skit on prayer (Everyone did a great job!)

  • The Wonderful Cross – Mason/Reeves/Tomlin/Walt/Watts
  • At The Cross – Hudson/Watts

Special Music – The Old Rugged Cross (Lesley did a fantastic job!)

Message – Part 1 (Our pastor spoke about the meaning of Communion today so that our new people knew what we were doing)

  • Nothing But The Blood – Lowry
  • Once Again – Redman

Special – Lead Me To The Cross (one of my favorites! Wonderful job Randi!)

Message – Part 2

Time of response and receiving the elements

Offering

  • How Great is Our God – Tomlin

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving this week!  We have more than we deserve not only in possessions, but as recipients of God’s love and mercy also!  This post is also part of Sunday Setlists at Fred McKinnon [dot] com.

  • Mighty To Save – Fielding/Morgan

Choir – End of the Beginning

  • A New Hallelujah – Smith/Smith/Baloche

Today was the second Sunday in our Missions Celebration.  A couple of quotes that stuck out to me were these: “Missions exists because worship does not; ” and “Missions will end, but worship will never end.”  Those are not statements that belittle or make missions less important.  in fact, I think that those statements actually make missions even more important.  After all, the goal of missions is to make worshipers of God.

As far as our setlist goes, we had a wide variety of elements involved in the service.  It all flowed really well!

e

  • All Because of Jesus – Fee
  • Let Everything That – Redman

Choir – Our God Saves (Baloche)

  • Glory To God Forever – Fee/Beeching

Video intro to drama

Won by One Missions Drama (Written  by a couple in our church.  This will be a reoccurring drama for three weeks. Great job by everyone!  Thanks Fred and Patti!)

Special to end the Drama – Yours (Steven Curtis Chapman – Ashley, you did great!)

Message – Jeremy Jones

Offering and announcements

Baby Dedication (seem to be doing a lot of these lately!  That is always a good thing!

What a great day today!  It was nice having everyone in the auditorium together in one service!  That always brings extra energy and excitement! This post is also part of Sunday Setlists at Fred McKinnon [dot] com.

We had a great kick-off to our missions emphasis month.  The service had a lot of elements to it, and we actually went over time a bit in both services which we rarely ever do!  It was jam packed!  Today, we centered our theme on influence in our life.  It is easy to talk about missions in a global context, but much harder to put missions into action in your own life and sphere of influence.  We had a neat little twist to the message as well.  Our pastor spoke, but he had a gentleman from his past also speak a bit.  This man had a lot of influence in our pastor’s spiritual life, even though he did not realize it at the time.  Great point to this is that we never know who we are influencing in our life!  On to the set-list!

Operation Christmas Child Promo

  • Forever – Tomlin
  • Glory To God Forever – Fee/Beeching (This was our first time doing this as a church… loved it, and I think the people did too!)
  • Take My Life – Dykes/Havergal

Special – The Lost Get Found (Britt Nicole) Jeri did a great job on this!  Way to go Jeri!

As I said, it was just a great start for missions emphasis. I am really looking forward to the next few weeks!

Today was the kickoff to out fall schedule.  We started our two-service schedule back up, and started a new Hispanic service today as well.  Attendance was decent, and the Spirit of the day was fantastic!  We have been working through some sound issues, and had our sound pro  in services today to try and work some stuff out.  I would have to say that I was very pleased with the results, and it seems so far all of the comments about our changes have been positive.  We still have a bit of work to do, but things were as good as I have heard it since I have been here.

All the vocalists and instrumentalists did a terrific job today!  I am proud of the teams I get to serve with here at G’ville!  Let’s take a look at the setlist:

Intro video to service

  • Your Grace Is Enough – Maher
  • Open The Eyes of My Heart – Baloche
  • The Solid Rock – Austin/Bradbury/Combs/Hall/Mote

Special Music – If We Are The Body

Video intro for message

Message – Church Unique (New series that started today)

Time of response
