Calling all worship team members!

Practices will be Tuesday evenings from 7:30-9:00 pm again in Fall 2009.

Similar to last year, I'd like to have 2 consistent worship teams that play either 1st & 3rd or 2nd & 4th Sundays.

If you have a friend who sings or plays who might like to join the 11:15 worship team, let me know!

I'm going to schedule in 4 blocks, Sep-Dec, Jan-Apr, May-Jun, Jul-Aug. Being deliberate about this will give space for new people to come in, and for people to take breaks if they need to.

We had a great year in 08-09 and I'm looking forward with anticipation to the coming year.

New song "Mighty to Save"

Check out Laura Story singing "Mighty to Save", along with some guitar tips for learning it. We intro'd this Sunday and will teach the congregation in the coming weeks.

Set list for Feb 15, 2009

Shout to the North
Lord, I Lift Your Name on High
You Are My King (Amazing Love)
Take My Life (Tomlin)
Holiness (Take My Life)   ... the other Take My Life as a bookend for the first one
Lord, Reign in Me

(after playing through it I decided NO for this week on the song Fount of Love from the Psalter Hymnal - I couldn't figure out quite how to do it - it is a Chinese folk melody - we'll keep it for later)

Take My Life - for Feb 8 & 15

Check out Chris singing this song ....

Listening to your own radio station online

Ever want to listen to a particular kind of music while you are working on the computer? Check out pandora.com You can define your own music stations based on "seed" songs.

Try starting a station with your favorite worship song ... right now I'm enjoying a wonderful collection of worship ballads based on "Come Thou Fount" by Fernando Ortega.

Music of Greg Scheer

We've been enjoying music composed by Greg Scheer. Check out his website at gregscheer.com where you can find music and recordings of some of his songs (May the Mind of Christ My Savior for example).
