We had a pretty bad weather weekend here in Wichita, so it was a crapshoot as to what was going to happen in church today.  We actually cancelled our first service today so we could let it warm up a bit and melt a little bit of the snow away.  I went to clear some snow last night, and at the door we had about 3 inches of solid snow and sleet, and away from the door it was a slushy mess. All in all, it was not as bad as they were predicting.  They called it a blizzard, but it was nothing like I remember bad snows in South Bend and Chicago being like.  With all the bad weather, we still had a very good attendance in the one service that we had.

It is the 5th Sunday of the month, and on those Sundays I try to mix things up a bit.  Instrumentally, we used 3 guitars and the drums.  No keyboards at all today.  I also had only 3 people on vocals, when usually I have 5 (not including me).  We rehearsed on Monday this last week.  I have always wanted to try an early-in-the-week rehearsal.  Not sure I want to do it again though… to far from Sunday!

On to the set-list:

Easter invite video

Set one:

Set #2

• God You Reign – Brewster/Fieldes (This is he first time we have done this.  Great song, and the people loved it)
• All Because Of Jesus – Fee

Just an awesome time of worship today.  The message was about giving, which can always be touchy (usually for those that do not give anyways), but our Pastor did a great job of talking about generosity without focusing on money, if that makes any sense.

Cannot wait to get back at it this week as we are gearing up for Easter!  Hope everyone had a great day today!  This post is also part of Sunday Setlists at Fred McKinnon [dot] com
