Top 20 Most Played at Grace in 2013

A month later is better than never! It's that time where we show you the most played worship songs at Grace Church in 2013.  As a reminder, this list does NOT speak to how liked a song is...it simply tells how often we played the song during services at Grace in 2013.  Please note for my worship leading/songwriting friends who love the details...I didn't take the time to chase down the individual authors of each song. I've listed the performer who's version we used as a reference point when learning the songs. You can compare this list to the 2012 most played at Grace and the 2011 most played at Grace .  Here's the list for 2013 with links to iTunes for your downloading pleasure:

Super Cool Person of the Week: Hector

I love our "utility" volunteers on the Weekend Service Team at Grace. Those few are the ones who use their gifts and talents in more than one specific area on our team.  Some are members of the lighting team while volunteering on the stage team. Others run both the media presentation while at times volunteering on the Video Production & Streaming Team. Hector is one of our team members who serves on the worship team along with running the audio for weekend services.

In 2008 Hector joined the audio team and became an integral part of making the audio at Grace happen during services.  Let's be honest, audio team folks RARELY hear the positive...and that's ok. They embrace the silent response to the work they do as approval.  Typically the only feedbaack they receive from folks is that the sound is too loud, band folks telling them to turn their instrument up in the mix etc.  It's a role that oftentimes demands a measured bit of patience. Hector has always been one of those guys who embraces the challenges and overcomes them.

In addition to the audio, Hector plays percussion on the worship team. Lately on our worship team we've had to call upon him to serve more than the average two weekends a month due to losing some players to scheduling conflicts, surgeries, school etc. He's always willing to step in when a need arises. He pays attention to so many details in songs that oftentimes I look to him when learning a new tune. It's his humble attitude and heart to bring the best he can in service to the Lord in whatever role he plays during weekend services that makes what I do a joy. I love serving alongside people like Hector every week.

Thank you Hector for serving the Lord with your talents and gifts!  If you see Hector this weekend...be sure to tell him he's SUPER COOL!!!

"May I be a Sacrifice"

It was 2003...job loss...doubts about the future...a pregnant wife...a three year old little girl...and nothing but a desire to be a true leader of worship vs. a performer of songs. Here's a tune that the Lord gave me during that time. A simple prayer offering all that I was so I could become all God planned for me. Enjoy!
