Contemporary Services

• “Hosanna” (Paul Baloche/Brenton Brown)
• “How Great Is Our God” (Chris Tomlin)
• “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)” (Chris Tomlin)
• “Victory” (Cody Carnes)

I had the privilege of attending the Song Discovery Creative Conference last week in Nashville, which was excellent! (If you’d like read more about my experience there, you can read my recent blog post about it) So, since I was gone all week, Zack led the team for me, and he really did an excellent job! I was there on Sunday, and it was so fun just to sit back and watch him lead the team, and see what a great job the entire team did!  Zack led from the electric guitar for the first time, instead of the acoustic, and it really sounded nice.  You can watch the video of this service and see the Planning Center details.

Cafe Connection Service

• “Hosanna” (Paul Baloche/Brenton Brown)
• “How Great Is Our God” (Chris Tomlin)

Zack led the team in this service as well. I enjoyed attending this service today, and seeing all of the healthy fellowship taking place, especially in our connecting time. So many young families with kids there, at 8:00 am; and yet also a wide range of other ages were there as well. Loved it! You can see the Planning Center details.

Traditional Service

• Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
• The Love of God
• Trust and Obey
• In the Garden
• He Touched Me

Paul Miller led the team this morning, and he also did super, along with Janet on the piano and the rest of the team.  I heard many comments following the service about how much they appreciated his leading.  You can see the video of this service and the Planning Center details.

• “The Wonderful Cross” (Chris Tomlin)
• “Overcome” (Jon Egan)
• “The Wonder of the Cross” (Vicky Beeching)

We started our message series focusing on the cross leading up to Easter today.  It also was Worship Choir day today so we had about 16 extra singers join us today!   Things went well, and all did a great job. The last song was added Saturday night by our senior pastor, and the team did a great job adding it in the last minute. You can watch the video of this service and see the Planning Center details.

• “Taste and See” (Tommy Walker)
• “Glorious” (Paul Baloche and Brenton Brown)

Marv led the team in the Cafe this week, and picked out some great songs. The Cafe service is already super early at 8:00 a.m., so with the time change this weekend, these guys are super-dedicated and did such a great job!  You can see the Planning Center details for this service.

• “Be Exalted, O God”
• “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee”
• “I Believe In A Hill Called Mount Calvary”
• “Hallelujah, What A Savior”
• “The Old Rugged Cross”

This crew had a very early morning, too, with Daylight Saving Time this weekend.  Even so, they did a great job, and everything went well.  You can watch the video of this service, and see the Planning Center details.

Sunday Recap – March 4, 2012

Contemporary Services

• “Glorious One” (Steve Fee)
• “The Stand” (Joel Houston)
• “Jesus Messiah” (Tomlin)
• “Remembrance” (Matt Maher/Matt Redman)
• “Beautiful the Blood” (Fee)

The message today focused on prayer, but we also celebrated communion, which is where most of the songs today pointed people.  It was great to see so much interaction on “The Stand”, with so many people standing “with arms high and hearts abandoned”!  We have been using the click regularly for a while now, and it’s great! But, on the two communion songs yesterday, I decided not to start the click at the last minute. I just felt I wanted more freedom with the tempos and flow of the songs during communion.  You can watch the video of this service and see the Planning Center details.

Cafe Connection

• “Glorious One” (Steve Fee)
• “The Stand” (Joel Houston)
• “You Gave Your Life Away” (Paul Baloche and Kathryn Scott)
• “Jesus Messiah” (Tomlin)

I always enjoy getting the privilege to lead in the Cafe service, and we had a great team today!  You can see the Planning Center details for this service.

Traditional Service

• All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name
• I Will Sing of My Redeemer
• My Savior’s Love
• Beneath the Cross of Jesus
• At The Cross

Randy led the team in this service, and even though the team was very small, only 3 people, they did a great job!  You can watch the video of this service and see the Planning Center details.

Sunday Recap – August 21, 2011

Contemporary Services

• “God Is Great” (Marty Sampson)
• “Matchless” (Aaron Shust)
• “Your Love Never Fails” (Chris McClarney and Anthony Skinner)
• “Shine” (Matt Redman)

I was actually on vacation yesterday, at my parent’s home in Minnesota. We had a great week spent with family and friends. We celebrated my 40th birthday, my dad’s 88th birthday, and my daughter’s 8th birthday.  That’s quite a span! From everything I’ve heard, the team back here at Bethel did a great job leading yesterday.  Thanks, Marv, for leading the team, and everyone else for a great job well done! You can see the Planning Center details for this service. I’d put the video up, but we’re having some technical difficulties with one of the components in our camera system which is putting some nasty purple bars across the screen, so it really isn’t very pretty to watch. 1st order of business now since I’m back from vacation – take care of that!

Cafe Connection

• “God Is Great” (Marty Sampson)
• “Matchless” (Aaron Shust)
• “Your Love Never Fails” (Chris McClarney and Anthony Skinner)
• “Shine” (Matt Redman)

Marv led the team in our Cafe service as well, with the same songs. Pastor Jamie was gone as well, so Pastor Andrew facilitated this service.  You can see the Planning Center details for this service.

Traditional Service

• “How Great Thou Art”
• “My Faith Has Found A Resting Place”
• “Blessed Assurance”
• “Love Lifted Me”
• “Blest Be The Tie That Binds”
• “The Family of God”

Randy Bartz led the team in our Traditional Service while I was gone, and from the part of the video that I watched, the whole team did a super job! I’ve come to expect it now, but just before this service started, around 7:30 a.m., I received a text message saying something was wrong, please call.  Why is it that things seem to fail only when I’m on vacation? It’s usually something simple that I normally just take care of myself. I’ve told myself each time this happens that I need to do a better job of training people what to do about the “what if”s. What do I do if this happens, or that happens… I really don’t mind getting the calls/texts, but everyone really should know what to do if something like that happens.  Note taken… You can see the Planning Center details for this service.

Hope you all had a great Sunday! This post is part of the Sunday Setlists blog carnival at The Worship Community.
