Sunday Setlist #4
This weekend we continued our series in James. I loved that we were challenged to “live” the life of faith. To evaluate whether we are consumers or servants. James, gets right to it and I lvoe that we have that challenge.
Prep for this weekend was crazy. Thursday afternoon I got a call from our FOH engineer. He was called into work for sunday. Right now we have 3 engineers and one of them is on vacation. I am the 3rd engineer, and our other worship leader was out of town, so I had to lead and was not able to help at FOH. This put me in a bind. I gave a call to a friend that has helped in our tech department before and has some sound experience. He willingly filled in. To ease his stress, I stripped the team down to just myself leading from piano and our acoustic player. Made for a simple sound check and technical weekend. Needless to say, we had a great time, I chose to run with some wedges instead of in-ears this weekend. It was a great opportunity to lose all the volume and production and just hear everyone sing. Beautiful!
The setlist this weekend was chosen for a band, but I decided to go with it and it worked just fine.

Billy Chia’s last blog post…Take Your Worship Band on Tour
Where we attended Sat. PM, they were beginning a new format we were really blessed by (not that it’s ‘for us’, but we got blessed on the ‘rebound’ since God really was, I believe =).
They are having a beginning worship set (about 5-6 uninterupted songs), then a condensed version of the weekend message (about 20 min. instead of 40 for Sunday AM), ending with more worship (4-5 more songs) and communion. It was a great time of ‘connecting with the Lord’ both individually and corporately.
They had a full band (minus keyboards though), but use floor monitors instead of ‘in-ears’. I don’t know if that’s a budget issue for them, but personally I’d prefer ‘open ears’ for the same reasons you noted (having more a feel of worshiping with the PEOPLE rather than just with the team).
Yeah, I know the ‘extended’ worship can create ‘logistical’ problems, but I often wonder if God’s that into ‘logistics’(Is. 55:8) or what is or isn’t comfortable and convenient for us (Jer. 29:13).
Praying for reign (Jer. 8:20),

LOOOOOVE Friend of God!!
