My Worship Revolution

…I didn’t lead worship this Sunday.

I really have a value to not be the only person that’s ever seen leading worship at CLC.  Two reasons for this.  First – it’s not all about me.  If there are other gifted leaders in our ministry, I want to give them the opportunity to share that with us and do that ministry.  Second, I hope to soon see those who are developing that desire and skill of leading worship to be raised up in our ministry and eventually move in to leadership roles in worship, whether it be here or elsewhere.

So, that being said, Rachel Hopkins led worship this past Sunday.  She leads our youth here along with her husband, Kyle, our Youth Pastor.  During the interim before i came she led weekly.  It was nice to be off stage for the week and I was able to run sound in the process, giving me a better feel for our equipment, the room acoustics, and what our sound volunteers are working with on a weekly basis.

This is why I don’t have much of a "confessional" for this week.  I will however share one of the more interesting moments of the service.  As Rachel finished the first song after the message, a homeless gentleman who joins us on occasion decided to take advantage of some silent time between songs.  He made hi way to the front and began to "prophecy" (I guess) regarding the coming of the Lord which is close at hand, and ask us if we were ready.  Luckily, Dan, one of our prayer team members that was nearby handled it beautifully, tackling him and wrestling him out of the room.  Just kidding.  He just laid a hand on his shoulder and gently led him back to his seat.

Here was Rachel’s set:

You Are Good – Houghton
Forever – Tomlin

He Knows My Name – Walker
Amazed – Anderson
Amazing Grace (first verse)
Made Me Glad – Webster

Sing To The King – Foote
