This week and Christmas info

Hopefully everyone of you got my Google calendar invite for the worship team. I would like us to continually use this as a place for not only myself to post important dates and times throughout the year, but also for yourself to write in availability, when you're gone or want a week off, etc.
I put the time of our Christmas Eve service as well as two possible rehearsals for that week (next week!), Tues. and Thursday. I would like to rehearse for sure on Tues. if that works for everyone and, if necessary, we will have Thur. as a backup rehearsal time as well.
I believe we also rehearsed the morning of Christmas Eve and then met like 45min before service (that would be 4:15 this year). If that works for this year (I'm not sure of people's work schedule), let me know.

Here is this week's list...

Beginning of the year kick-off

Hey all,
I hope everyone had a great summer with plenty of rest and relaxation. (For those of you that didn't get a vacation, Scott took enough for all of us). But I think its about time we have another one of our famous worship team get togethers before we get too far into the fall. Of course there will be plenty of time for socializing, but I also think it would be good for all of us to connect and chat a little bit about the upcoming year. We'll have it at Scott's house (Scott, is that cool?) on Friday, Aug. 27th. Starting at 6:30 (6:00 for the Blystones). Hopefully that will work into your schedule - if you can only stop by for a bit, that will be fine. I don't think there will be room for kids, so just us adults please.
I will keep you all posted on any other specifics.

p.s. I really didn't just spring this on Scott, we talked about it before hand.

Alright gang - time to get back into it.

But before I talk about this week, I wanted to say how awesome worship was this Holy Week/Easter. I am overwhelmed by the amount of work and time and passion each and everyone of you put into the group. Thank you for enriching the experience. I can honestly say that this was the best Holy Week that I have been involved in. Thank you again.

We will be having rehearsal on Thursday - lets stick with the vocal first, instruments second routine. I feel like its been working well.

Final Holy Week Schedule

Mon. 3-29 Vigil Practice @ 6:30
Tues. 3-30 Holy Thursday/Good Friday Practice @ 6:30
Thurs. 4-1 Holy Thursday Worship @ 6:30; Vigil practice w/ choir following worship
Fri. 4-2 Good Friday Worship @ 12 noon
Sat. 4-2 Vigil Practice @ 8am (only if needed); Vigil @ 6:30

Call times for Thur, Fri and Sat are yet to be determined, but because of work schedules, there probably won't be much time for practice directly before worship. Plan on at least an hour before for sound check/quick run through.

Let me know if there are questions.

This Week

New song this week. "Remembrance" by Matt Redman. We will do it in the same key, or a half step lower. Listen to it here.

Holy Week

I need to know who is available for Holy Week. I know its the beginning of spring break, but we would truly benefit by having as many of you involved as possible. Please let me know soon.
Here is the worship schedule for the NC
Holy Thursday - 6:30 worship NC
Good Friday - 12 noon worship NC
Vigil - 6:30 worship NC

Not sure the specific practice times yet, but there will probably be a couple rehearsals at the beginning of the week (mon and tues), as well as a Sat morning rehearsal.

So far, it has been a great Lent as far as the worship is concerned. You guys are working hard and its showing. I am truly looking forward to a powerful Holy Week with all of you.

This Week

My Deliverer
This is Love
You Alone can Rescue

same schedule for rehearsal 6:30 singers, 7:15 instruments

This week

Let's stick with the same format for this week - 6:30 singers, 7:15 instruments.
If we could get there a little early to ready to go by those times, that would be best.

Here is Love
The Solid Rock
You Alone Can Rescue
Lead me to the Cross
The Wonderful Cross
Sing Over Your Children
Lead me Home

something a little different...

I would like to try something different for rehearsal this week. I want to have the vocalists meet and 6:30 and the instrumentalists meet at 7:15. That should give us plenty of time to run through songs and parts for the vocalists before the whole band gets there.
Now, if the vocalists want to leave instead of stick around and sing for the instrumental rehearsal, I understand. I will leave it up to you.
I feel that this will make things more efficient and productive in the long run. I know its not as fun as meeting as a big group all at once, but lets give this a try to see how we like it.
Here is the list...
Sing Over Your Children
Once Again
You Alone can Rescue
Out of the Darkness
From the Inside Out
My Deliverer

First Sunday in Lent
