Setlist - 15 Mar 2009
Sunday morning at Kings

Tags: communion

Wow, it really clicked this morning! Really full of life. Over a dozen people contributed after the sermon. A strong sense of God at work and us responding.

One factor at play (there were definitely others) was that I deliberately spent about an hour more preparing the setlist than usual. It really paid off in terms of the sense of freshness about what I was leading with.

It's odd how easy it is for the setlist to feel tired even though we have a repertoire of up to about 200 songs for Sunday mornings. Preparation really counts. Any song selected lazily is a weak point.

I used the Townend-Getty hymn 'This, the power of the cross' for the first time this morning during communion. It's a good one. My mum and dad are up visiting (hi Mum!); they definitely knew the song well after listening to me wrestling through the chords repeatedly on Saturday evening.
