On Sunday, Rev Jim brought the good news in this post resurrection season to a real high, or low, depending on how you feel about the undead. His sermon led us from our fear of death played out in the proliferation of Zombie films, the bizarre life after death image played out in them [...]

In keeping with the fine tradition over at fredmckinnon.com, here is today’s set list.

The first Sunday of Advent was just fantastic. We don’t usually do much “liturgy” in our Contemporary Service, but today it was filled with “the work of the people,” and much the better for it.
We started the service with this [...]

All the set list fun made possible by Fred McKinnon and his Sunday Setlists.

This was a mission Sunday. One of our parishioners made the trip to Rwanda and shared her heart with us. This was an awesome thing! Going in, I knew the topic and so managed the challenge of songs that [...]

Here are the songs we did today: [...]

There is the coolest thing going on at Fred McKinnon’s worship blog. For the longest time I have wanted something like this. You blog about your Sunday Setlist (tunes from worship) and then link to Fred’s blog. This way, music truly streams from church to church. We can stay up on [...]

Our Wednesday night worship has a talkback component that is just awesome. The peeps who come and worship love the time at the end of the night where we talk about what they heard and experienced.
I, like many, have been wondering how to use new media as a worship tool. [...]

My church used to do a blended service (traditional hymns and favorites from the past oh, say, 30 years). I’ve heard many of our senior folks remark that they miss it, but that’s just because it’s been long enough for them not to remember that they hated it. That’s the thing with blended [...]

Before the worship set, I used to try and find clever whiticisms to get people not to just turn their cells to vibrate, but let the hour of worship be like a fast: turn the phone OFF. I began to call the off button the “worship button,” seeing as this might be the only [...]
