Worship Recap & Set List: April 5, 2009 – Baptisms, Palm Sunday & 3 sermons #sundaysetlists

Rich Kirkpatrick — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 22:15:11 +0000

Recap: Today was a bit different in that we had three sermons. Well, we had three elders give a short talk about three events in the last week of Jesus’ life. What was cool about this is that our lay elders got to share today. We sandwiched a teaching about the Triumphal Entry, The Last Supper and The Crucifixion with music, communion and baptisms. By the way, I think about 40 people were dunked today! Also, my daughter helped me lead today. Each time I give her a bit more to grow as a worship leader and she seems to rise to the occasion every time. I cannot tell you how amazing it is to have your family serve with you. My wife was on screen duty today, as well. She does the images and switches the live video IMAG.

Set List: Today we did focus a bit on the fact that it was Palm Sunday.

Here Is Our King – David Crowder
Hosanna – Paul Baloche, Brenton Brown
From the Inside Out – Joel Houston
Invitacion Fountain – Michael J. Pritzl
Black and Blue Is My Heart – Rich Kirkpatrick
You Gave Your Life Away – Paul Baloche, Kathryn Scott

Worship Recap & Set list: February 15, 2009

RECAP: This was our third installment of “Change”–Greg brought it home with a challenge about what audience we really are hoping to please: Jesus, or the crowd. My voice was nearly gone due to laryngitis this Sunday, but Ben co-led and did great as did our whole band. I have to say that Mike is the best worship band leader I have ever worked with, including myself. He loves the guys and gals and inspires us with his dedication and passion for worship.

SET LIST: Ben co-led worship with me, taking the lead on “Not To Us” and “Audience of One.” Not just because I enjoy being led by Ben or Bob or other worship leaders, I really think he–in a good way–out shined me. I needed support due to vocal problems, but Ben took it further really helping lead this morning. Thanks Ben!

Hosanna – Paul Baloche
Not To Us – Chris Tomlin
Cry Out Your Name – Jeff & Karol Moore
The Greatest Gift – Rich Kirkpatrick
Audience of One – Big Daddy Weave

Worship Recap & Setlist: February 1, 2009

Rich Kirkpatrick — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 23:01:07 +0000

Worship Recap: Cannot believe its a new month and new sermon series already. Today we began a new series about the Sermon on The Mount entitled: “Change.” We are getting low in the drum area, so I am so grateful for friends in town with Craig of Venture Christian letting us borrow Tyler who did a great job with us today on drums. Talk about generosity and the churches working to help each other. Thanks to Craig and Tyler.

We partook communion today. I got to do the setup. I made two points about it. First, I said we need to find beauty in the act instead of just going through the motions. The sunset is a beautiful thing, but if we reduce it intellectually to something that simply reflects God’s beauty rather than enjoy the sunset, we miss the point. In the same way, communion is an act that reflects the beauty in the sacrifice of love from Jesus to us. We should feel some sort of awe beyond a simple thought of it as symbolic like from a text book. Second, I mentioned how we do this together. So, I encouraged people to talk to each other in confessional tones about how they came today, ready or not. And, I encouraged friends and family to take it together.

Set List: This week, we introduced “I Cling to the Cross” which ends with a traditional refrain from “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus.”

I Will Boast – Paul Baloche
Your Name is Holy – Brian Doerksen
Invitation Fountain – Michael J. Pritzl
Here I am to Worship – Tim Hughes
I Cling to the Cross – Paul Baloche, Matt Redman

Worship Recap & Setlist: January 25, 2009

Rich Kirkpatrick — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 00:37:37 +0000

RECAP: Today we finished our sermon series entitled “Bounce”–I think many were encouraged by talking about how to bounce back. With our economy and society having negative numbers and attitudes, the church has so much to offer with relationships.

One fun thing today was to do the “God is good…ALL the time” chant with the crowd. I mixed it up a bit and randomly said things like “You stock portfolio might be down…but..(cue congregation” GOD IS GOOD.” This surely is appropriate given that we live by faith and not the stock market.

One funny quip was when I seated the church and said “You may have seated”–the chuckles were worth the mess up.

SET LIST: We did once more Mark Roach’s “As Long As I Have You” as the anchor song for our series.

Today Is The Day – Lincoln Brewster
As Long As I Have You – Mark Roach
You Are Good – Israel Houton
You Gave Your Life Away – Paul Baloche, Kathryn Scott
Blessed Be Your Name – Matt Redman

How did you celebrate God being good in the midst of gloomy news lately?

Worship Recap & Set List: December 28, 2008; A family affair, New Years & Christmas hangover

Rich Kirkpatrick — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 05:12:18 +0000

Recap: This weekend was a family affair with both my wife and daughter helping me lead worship on Sunday. Because this is the “Christmas hangover” week for us involved in Christmas Eve services. (By the way, we had a GREAT evening on Christmas Eve.) The hangover week meant we had to work without a full rehearsal. I am very pleased in our tech and music teams at the consistency and commitment they have to make a Sunday like today work so well.

New Year means a change to refocus on the priorities we have and Mark Strauss of Bethel Seminay in San Diego reminded us at Sunridge of that fact with the message he delivered. Mark has been with us a couple years in a row on this weekend. Thanks to Mark for his words and encouragement to us today.

Set List: The songs this weekend were tried and true except for one original I wrote that was introduced early in 2008 called “This Sacred Place.” Our worship set was put together to get us to decide to focus on Christ as our ” go to” instead of anything else.

Let The Praises Ring – Lincoln Brewster
I Will Boast – Paul Baloche
All We Need – Charlie Hall
This Sacred Place – Rich Kirkpatrick
Everlasting God – Brenton Brown
