The worship service went well this morning. It goes well on most Sunday mornings because we have a singing congregation and that changes everything. It was apparent from the first song, the second song, The Father’s Love, was a new one, so that quieted everyone, but only temporarily. I did create a few glitches this morning, in the first set I forgot to repeat the first verse on It Is Not Death to Die and went right into the chorus; I announced a quick “Let’s do that verse again” after the chorus, and the band and Earl at the slides didn’t miss a beat. In the second set on the first song, Spirit, I realized right away as I started singing I had not turned on my headset mic. I just kept singing to keep the band going, quickly turned it on with a pop, and jumped back into the pattern pick as quick as possible to minimize the interruption; fortunately, it worked quite well. It wasn’t one of our best Sundays from a technical perspective, but we worshipped the Lord with one voice nonetheless!
Below is the view from my iPad of today’s setlist; the app is unrealBook. The two Romans passages you see in the setilist came from my Bible reading this morning using the Glo Bible app.I pasted the verses into blank PDFs in unrealBook and then added them to the playlist at the point where I read them. Since I’m leading from the guitar, and you can see this first song is three pages, I use the USB Footime Page Turner to turn the pages. I have scaled the customized Courier New font I use larger than our normal printed leadsheets, so they are very easy to read. Only playing outside in bright sunshine would cause me to go to paper now! I got the iPad just to do this, and after using this setup now for over two months, it has proved to be money well spent.
