Setlist - 6 Jan 2019
Morning Worship at Kings

A rather chaotic start to 2019.

I broke a string for the first time in months during the first song today and then couldn't find my guitar case to get a spare. I got people to begin leading worship by reading out Scriptures while I changed the string, then picked up with the planned set. Even though a string change is no big deal, it jogged my sense of time and we ran over a bit. A variety of other minor distractions added up to hard work leading today.

But, as ever, it didn't seem to make any difference to people's engagement in worship. I feel glad to be in a church where people are serious about worship, and not put off by technical glitches. (Good job, really!)

Mark started a sermon series on 2 Corinthians this morning and asked for the classic 'What A Faithful God Have I' for afterwards. I haven't sung that for a very long time but the congregation were familiar with it and it went well. An early example of a much higher chorus than verse in contemporary songwriting. We pitched in Bb.

I think it's a year ahead when I need to lead into areas that are not my strengths. That's a bit intimidating, but it's so much the Gospel to find God's provision in our weakness.
