SUNDAY SETLIST (Sept 13)
Today was our “kickoff” Sunday.. as i’m sure it was for many churches . We had a jam packed morning with a few cool elements in the services. A great drama, a cover of SNOW PATROL’s “Open Your Eyes” with a video being projected on the band…. and a great message from Pastor John.
Tech-wise.. it was pretty crazy. I spent most of Friday setting up lights and gear trying to make sure everything was “just right”. I think overall everything worked. And this morning it was great to hear people singing out. The atmosphere in the room was definitely different. God was at work. I just hope what we brought was pleasing to him.. and not just noise.
I created a voice over track just to begin the service. Myron (our FACILITIES MANAGER) has a great speaking voice.. so I recorded him and and wrote a nice music bed intro to go along with it. That sounded pretty cool form the stage. The low bass notes shook the whole stage.
VOICEOVER INTRO
OPEN YOUR EYES – Snow Patrol
GLORY TO GOD FOREVER – Fee …. the congregation is really beginning to grab a hold of this song.
OUR GOD SAVES – P. Baloche
GREAT IS THE LORD – Starfield
(HOW GREAT THOU ART – Hymn) – we just did the chorus to this. it wasn’t really planned but it worked so well.
JESUS PAID IT ALL – HYMN
GOD OF THIS CITY – C. Tomlin
One thing I liked: We really tried to not rush things today. It was nice to take our time thru the songs and give certain songs space to breathe and grow. We did go over both services….. but it was worth it.
One thing I disliked: My A/B pedal was set incorrectly… so my electric went thru my DI instead of my amp for the ending of OPEN YOUR EYES. That kinda sucked.
I really wanted to crank that ending out.
