the iPad and unrealBook
When Pastor Mark mentioned the song In Christ Alone in conjunction with his last point in the sermon, I began thinking how we can do it. I can substitute it for the last song simple enough. Brian and his bass can move up between Dennis and I. Brad won’t have any problem on drums following us. Greg & Shani can change the slides on the fly no problem. This big issue is lyrics for Dawn & Rayann who can’t see the screen; I really don’t want to leave them out. Maybe Dennis will have his iPad with him.
As we go up after the sermon I ask Dennis as we are setting up if he has his iPad, sure enough he does, so I have him get it and put it on the stand for now. It’s a good signal to everyone, congregation included a change is coming. When we get to the last song I instruct Greg on the new song number, find In Christ Alone on my iPad and Dennis finds it on his and we pass it to Dawn and we are good to go after a drawn out intro so Dennis could capo his guitar.
The music team didn’t miss a beat, and the congregation response was worth it! I am always so encouraged when the congregation spontaneously sings out boldly. I sense God’s Spirit at work and his presence in our midst.
It was another good Sunday to be gathered with saints worshipping the Lord.
