There is no better way to celebrate the start of a new year than by worshipping the Lord with my brothers and sisters.
Brad surprised and delighted us by jumping on the drums shortly after we began our rehearsal of the first song. He said Greg would do the soundboard! From that point on it was smooth sailing. After we made some adjustments on the repeats for our new song Father Forgive Us (my notes on this new song here), we were good to go. I was great to have the drums to add some drive and emphasis to the song.
We had lower than normal attendance this morning, but those that came, came to worship. We had a Spirit filled time of worship in song and a Word based sermon challenging us to an active, expectant hope-filled faith like Simeon and Anna (Luke 2:25-38).
Here are all the songs we did:
