Another Sunday Setlist post recapping the worship set this Sunday at Church. The hub for all of things Sunday Setlist can be found over at FredMcKinnon.com.

Today was an epic and epically long Sunday for me. I played acoustic guitar and co-led the 5:00 service with Autumn and then led worship for both of our youth groups.

The 5:00 service was just me on guitar and Autumn on piano. It was really neat for me to play and lead a set with Autumn, just the two of us, because of how she’s really the one who has taught me just about everything about what it means and what it looks like to lead worship. Our set looked like this:

It Is You – Newsboys
Unchanging – Chris Tomlin
Everlasting God – Brenton Brown
//dismiss kids – greeting//
Desert Song – Brooke Fraser (Hillsong)
//sermon//
It Is Well – Traditional
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus – Traditional
//offering//
Oh You Bring – Matt Crocker (Hillsong United)
You Never Let Go – Matt Redman

We each led four songs, Autumn led three of the four before the sermon, and I led three of the four after the sermon. The time after the sermon was really, really powerful. It was this recognition that no matter what is going or has gone on in our lives, God is still God. It was a really cool moment and the presence of God was right there with us.

Oh You Bring was a new song for us. It was the first time for us playing it in a service and despite it only being the two of us, the arrangement and instrumentation we did on it made it work. All in all it was a great service, and it was really cool to do a simple arrangement, vocal and harmony rich set with the person who taught me basically everything I know.

After the service, however, the day was just getting started. There were still two sets to play for our junior and senior high youth groups. We did a different setup at youth group tonight. We switched to two electrics instead of one acoustic and one electric, we had a female singer on stage with us (who did a great job!), and then had our keys, bass, and drums. Our sets for youth group was as follows:

Dancing Generation – Matt Redman
All Day – Marty Sampson (Hillsong United)
Mighty to Save – Reuben Morgan and Ben Fielding (Hillsong)
Overcome – Jon Egan (Desperation Band)

Our team did a great job with these songs. Dancing Generation and All Day were fun and loud. Mighty to Save and Overcome were powerful and worshipful.

It was a great Sunday. However, it was a long, long day. Between practices, sound checks, and actual services, I was at the church from 1:30 to 9:00. I don’t regret any part of the day, but I can’t do this every Sunday.

But today was oh so totally worth it.
