We held a combined service at the Middle School this morning which allowed us to have a potluck following the service. Setup went very well on our most ambitious setup to date: two guitars, bass, mandolin (last song only), keyboard, drums, four vocal mics, and a wireless mic. The only real technical issue was my guitar cable wasn’t completely plugged in for the first set which went well nonetheless. “Revelation Song” a good fit for Advent, was a new song for us this morning and the congregation responded well. We had a balanced selection of songs, so the folks from the traditional service would feel at home. We did the last chorus of “Great is Thy Faithfulness” acapella; it was great to just hear the voices singing out to God. “Celtic Christmas Blessing” is our favorite closing song for the Advent season, and always sets the tone for the season.
