Worship Set List – March 30, ’08: Djembe, New original song, Simplify
This week was another awesome worship Sunday at Sunridge Community Church. Our new sermon series entitled “Simplify” began today. What a great concept: Greg Sidders uses the six statements that Jesus made about discipleship to help unclutter your walk with Christ. This is going to be a memorable six weeks for our church.
We did part of our service “unplugged” using a djembe for the first time since I came to SoCal. Kyle, our screaming drummer, actually plays it quite well. The idea was to “simplify” our sound right after Greg gave a synopsis of the series in front of the service.
We debuted an original worship song of mine, “This Sacred Place” and I think it was successful. I wrote this just a few weeks ago, and got good feedback about it from some worship publishing execs and friends at EMI’s www.worshiptogether.com while at a special songwriting session back in February’s re:create conference. (I hope to get a demo made soon.) **I added the video and chord chart in this post here.
Here was the music we did today:
- All To You – Lincoln Brewster
- Everyday – Joel Houston
- Heart of Worship – Matt Redman
- This Sacred Place – Rich Kirkpatrick
- My Savior My God – Aaron Shust
How was your worship weekend?

a demo would be awesome! I haven’t heard any of your original stuff.
I think someone plays everyday.. everyday.
Yo Rich! We had a good worship time this morning. Looking forward to a day when I get the guts to roll out an original! Would love to hear the tune sometime. Here’s the link to our worship time: http://babulife.blogs.com/weblog/2008/03/worship-confe-4.html
Later!

Unplugged can work SO well. Please post a demo soon…
Just wrote about it. Went really well I think. Nothing but positive feedback so far.
I like Shust’s song for a congregational song. Nice pick.
I would LOVE to hear the song…I love your original stuff, man. I used a cello, flute, one other singer, and some loops yesterday – I thought it was one of the most musical services we have done in a long time…I love simple.
