We did more of an acoustic set this weekend with piano, synth, acoustic guitar, bass, and djembe/shakers. We also started things off a bit differently by observing a moment of silence right after announcements and before we did any singing. Silence can be scary for worship leaders ... especially when it equals "awkward transition time between songs." But when prefaced and explained effectively, I believe it can be a powerful tool in preparing one's heart and mind for worship. And that's what we were aiming for by placing it at the beginning of the service.
-You Never Let Go (B) - instrumental prelude
Announcements - Chris
Moment of silence
-Here I Am To Worship (E)
-Hosanna / Praise Is Rising (G)
Comment as a bridge between songs (Referenced the line "You are the God who saves us", and explained how we are saved through Christ's sacrifice, specifically his blood. Ephesians 2:13)
-Nothing But the Blood (B) - Matt Redman
Video: "Spirit"
-Consuming Fire (G)
Message: "The Holy Spirit" - Dave
Offering
-I Need Thee Every Hour (G) - Jars of Clay arrangement
Benediction: 2 Corinthians 13:14
