Setlist - 5 Apr 2020
Online Worship with Kings

Tags: online, coronavirus, communion

We're now fully licensed for streaming, so we've expanded back to our full repertoire. (Read my article if you want to know about licensing!) It was much easier to pick songs that develop the themes and flow together in the same key.

Fay led actions for 'God Is For Us', which proved a hit in the Watch Party. One of the definite challenges for online church is figuring out how to engage the children. That said, for me personally, I'm very much enjoying worshipping together with my boys every week, and they're surprisingly engaged in the main content - even the sermon.

We took Sunday communion online for the first time today. It was a positive experience overall, but that's the moment that I most strongly felt, "This is not right. We should be together." Perhaps that will lessen as the weeks go by. I know there's a lot of debate around digital sacraments and I'm not taking a theological position so much as describing my experience.

I'm missing leading with other musicians too.

The novelty and adrenaline of urgently cobbling something together has worn off now. There's a lot of work to be done to enrich what we're doing.
