Check out dozens of other sets at The Worship Community!

In addition to the regular CenterPoint recap, I'm also sharing my set from Cedarville last night.  Yesterday was our first service of the year down there.

CenterPoint Church 1/17/10

Opening Set
    -I Am Free - C - Jon Egan
    -Your Love Is Deep - E - Jami Smith
    -You Said G-A - Reuben Morgan

Closing Song
    -They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love - Gm - Traditional

We ended up skewing a little older yesterday... it was actually pretty fun.  We didn't have a lead guitar for this service, so things were very keyboard driven.  The band was really on yesterday... simple arrangements, but things were really locked in well.  We closed with "They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love", which is not at all the type of tune we usually play (even when we do hymns), but it was so perfect for the theme (see below) that I just really felt we needed to do it (in light of the week's global events, that tune and "You Said" both became even more poignant, although they were planned earlier).  We put a nice big heavy backbeat on it and it worked just fine.

As I mentioned last week, we're working through Bill Hybels' "Just Walk Across The Room" materials right now.  I'm definitely liking this series (a lot more than I've liked any of the other "series in a box" stuff we've done over the years).  Yesterday's message focused on what it means to build authentic, loving, Christlike relationships with those around us.  Really solid stuff.

The Spirit was really moving in the room yesterday morning.  Everything flowed very smoothly, but there were several times in the service where we felt the Spirit direct things in a slightly different direction than we had planned.  It ended up being a very powerful time of worship, and God's presence was really felt.

This was the first of 2010's monthly Bread & C.U.P. services in Cedarville.  I've been playing there for a couple of years, but leading now for about six months.  The congregation and I are definitely starting to get more comfortable with each other... I'm inspired by their singing and passion for praise.  Definitely looking forward to what God is going to do through that group in the months ahead!  Yesterday I went down a little early and did a percussion clinic of sorts for some of the kids.  Showed them some different instruments and how to play them, and then wrote some very simple parts for them to play along with me on "Lord, I Lift Your Name On High".  Normally, I can't stand that song, but it worked well for this.  It was also easy to work them in since I normally play without a band for this service.  It was definitely a fun night!
