Obviously, it isn't Sunday, but Centerpoint did have a service tonight, and it took every bit as much planning and preparation (maybe even more!) than what we're doing on Sunday, so a "Sunday Setlists" style recap seems to be in order!

Tonight's Maunday Thursday service was very different than what we normally do. I wrote a couple of days ago about the way we changed our space and reworked our technical systems. As you can see from above, this was also a music heavy service. Our band tonight was very simple - 2 vocals, acoustic guitar, keys (lots of synth pad & rhodes), & violin. The band did a great job with some challenging music, and the arrangements came out very well!
Dave preached his message in three parts tonight - he did a great job of presenting some of the different Holy Week concepts in different ways, all leading up to communion (which was a very powerful time tonight, I thought).
Technically, our team did a great job of adapting to an entirely different system. We did have a couple of feedback issues near the beginning of the service, but they were resolved quickly and didn't end up being a major stumbling block.
All in all, I thought tonight's service served exaclty the purpose that it was meant to - to praise God for the sacrifice of His Son, and to remember the significance of that event. Now it's time to prepare for Sunday, when we will be celebrating the rest of the story that is still to come!
