Setlist - 24 Nov 2013
Sunday morning at Kings

Strong today. A great band and confident contributions from the congregation.

I was very pleased with the flow from 'Come and stand before your maker' to 'I stand amazed' to 'Here I am to worship'. And that was a truly huge version of 'I stand amazed'.

I was slightly nervous that the hugeness of the music would discourage people from contributing from the floor, but in fact we had about the strongest set of extemporary readings and prayers I can remember.

Mark preached on 1 Cor 14, which includes the description of worship in the Corinthian church where everyone brings "a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation", so I was braced for lots of contributions in response, and wondered whether we might have someone starting a song from the floor. There were lots of contributions but no spontaneous hymns.

Rich overall. A meeting that reaffirmed my conviction that strong leadership in worship can go hand in hand with active participation from the congregation.
