Yesterday was a first in a couple of ways. A new instrument and a new situation that we've never had.
First off, I have to tell people who attend early service something...YOU ARE AWESOME! We have never had the audio system shut off during worship and it happened yesterday. We're not talking a couple of instruments...we're talking EVERYTHING. That means the only thing heard was my acoustic guitar from the stage and our voices. Rather than just stopping I made a quick decision to keep going...singing one more chorus and ending it before the big electric guitar solo...because you know electric guitar solos just aren't the same without an audio system. The folks in early service responded by clapping their hands and singing louder than they were with the audio system. The problem was solved between services.
Lynnora Weast played the violin on two of our songs. This was a first for our team also. She did an amazing job. Just adding another instrument to a song that you've maybe played many times before gives it that new feel again. We'll never be able to play those songs the same way again I think.
Here's the setlist:
- Every Move I Make - David Ruis
- King - Tree63
- Come Thou Fount (with Lynnora) - Public Domain
- Let Everything that has Breath (with Lynnora) - Matt Redman
- I Will Trust in You - Jeremy Camp
