Sunday Setlists #161: Saint Lewis at St. Simons Community Church

Posted August 21st, 2011 by admin with 1 Comment

I’m participating again in TheWorshipCommunity.com’s Sunday Setlists.

This AM my band, Saint Lewis, led worship at my long-time church, St. Simons Community Church.

Okay, not EXACTLY, however four out of our six core members were on stage – plus one associate member – along with some long-standing SSCC regulars. It was the ideal line-up to introduce our new corporate worship single to our Sunday AM attendees.

The set:
WALK IN: “Your Mighty Hands” (Original – Lewis & Dalton)
1. “Our God” – Redman, Tomlin, Reeves, et al.
2. “Everlasting God” – Brenton Brown
3. “Song of Moses” – Unhindered & Aaron Keyes
SERMON
4. “Your Name” – Paul Baloche

We start church about 5 till with – usually – an upbeat, fun song – sometimes a secular cover, sometimes something stylistically we wouldn’t do corporately, & sometimes – like this morning – we use that time as an opportunity to introduce something new & upbeat. Apart from a false-start at the 9 AM (drummer’s earbuds weren’t on yet), both sets went very well, technically, however the 11 AM service was really where it was at. I had such a deep sense of God’s presence that some thought I might have had something bothering me (I was asked as much), however I was unusually “in tune” – very aware of God’s holiness & grace – to a deep sense of what God really wanted for our people. God’s intention is never to leave us comfortable – stagnant – but to push us forward towards Christ-like-ness. I had a sense of that happening in the hearts of many, particularly during the 2nd service.

As arrangements go, I was excited to have stumbled upon – in my own personal worship time – a simple medley of “Our God” with “Everlasting God”, flowing directly out of the end of the first, into the pre-chorus of the latter. My heart, however, connected most deeply when leading “Song of Moses”, a powerful modern hymn that deserves to be sung in churches everywhere. Lastly, there’s never a wrong time to sing “Your Name” – a beautiful reminder of God’s greatness, and an appropriate way to close an otherwise strong service. Heather owned verse two, as well – she’s really coming into her own as a worship leader.

So, that’s all to say that it was a wonderful Sunday morning. Looking forward to worshiping with my Seacoast friends in South Carolina this coming Sunday!
