Cella, I'll send you an e-mail with the songs you don't have.  Thanks so much for helping!  Thanks to each one of you for being part of the team!  See you at 8:45am!

• I'll fly away
• Great Storm
• Open the Eyes of my Heart Lord
• ---guitar change---
• Glory of God
• ---guitar change---
• Agnes Dei

Closing Song:   I'll fly away (again)

Diego, Maybe you could play that slideshow of Marcella's during offertory, it's the Fall Fest pics?  Ask Chet if you don't know about this, Cella's away all weekend.  Which means she won't be there to help this week.  

Frieda and Joey,  There's a couple of guitar changes Ben will have to do, if either of you are inspired, there's two little opportunities to say something profound, or at least personal, like what you're learning these days or ways you sense God moving. Think about it and let me know that morning if you have something for this.  

Helps to be planful when we know we're going to have a lull, and no bass solo to fill in the gap like last week...thanks Ben!!!   We'll miss you this week...and all of next semester!

Meet at 8:45am por favor.

Art

Hey!  I talked to everybody on Sunday and everybody said they can make it!!  Good thing since it's our last chance this year, I'm pretty sure, to get together!!  See you guys then!

By the way, Ben showed me this picture tonight.  It's called, "Frida and Diego Rivera".  Turns out they were famous artists and they made a movie about them called, "Frida".  This is probably common knowledge, but it was news to us!  Great stuff, huh?

Songs for Sunday 11/14/10

Come thou fount
Lord I lift your name
I will not be shaken

Should suit Ben and I to practice Sat at 3pm. See you thier or if this has changed let me know. Hopfully we can do Turn turn on Sunday for offeratory. On Sat would possibly practice Better is one day in your house. I think you we have music. Above list of songs could change depending on practice suggestions etc.

Sunday 11-6-10

Hey guys!  We are without Captain Joel this week, so the Wigtons are at the helm.  Here's the list for Sunday:

1)  Dalam Jesus (In Jesus Christ)
2) Open the Eyes of my Heart
3) Amazing Grace
4) River of Life
5) All who are thirsty

"Go out with joy" for sending song.

If anyone has a word or thought about missions or Colombia, the next two weeks are mission themed, with a focus on our sister church in Colombia.  Just to give ya a heads up. Please come at 8:45am for practice this Sunday, thank you!! 

IMPORTANT!!!  Please mark your calendars for NEXT Saturday, the 13th, to have practice at 3pm at the church.  It may be our only practice until  next year (just being realistic here!).

See you all Sunday.

Thoughts to share

Hi!  I just got off the phone from talking with Holly M.E. and she had some good ideas I thought I'd share with you guys.  First off she said she really likes it when we share a story behind the song, like its history.  Secondly, she said she loves it when one of us has something to say from the heart.  She said people really like it when we have shared and that she'd like to hear from Frieda and Joey too.  Each of us should set the example for the rest of the congregation to be humble yet uninhibited.  We also agreed cheesy fillers were no good.  From the heart or not at all!  Surely there's a Latin phrase to capture that, like Ex pectus pectoris necne procul totus.


See you tomorrow!

Songs Sunday 10/10/10

Hey, all the numbers line up 10/10/10. I wonder if we might be able to get together to practice some time this weekend. I have a new song that I heard while visiting another church this past Sunday. Its in the blue hymnal at church and called We are strangers no more. I think the page in 332. I'm not crazy about the melody but the words fit so well for Lifebridge and our group is good at improvising. Give it a look. Maybe after church sunday?
This week:
Undignified
The glory of God
Be thou my vision
Agnus Dei
Doxology
See you Sunday 845ish.

For closing let's do something CRAZY and sing Glory to God in the Highest!  Whaddaya think? 

Sunday 9/26/10

Happy Birthday to Ben tomorrow! And to Juni on Sunday!!!  Ezra says Juni is going to be 2 and Daddy is going to be 3!  Not quite, but it's got a 3 in it!

Here's the songs for this Sunday:

• Come thou Fount
• I will not forget you (of course!!)
• Give us clean hands
• In Christ alone

During offertory let's try and do "I'll fly away" if you didn't do that last week
Diego, do you have the lyrics for that?  We should put them up so people can join us if they want.

Closing: We shall go out with Joy (with apologies to Dale who does not like this song.)

Let's worship the King Most High together in song!  He is so good.

Practive around 830ish. Ben L will be there so we will need the bass. I think this is the Sun that Joey will not be there. Maybe we can see if Boo can play. If you could give him a call Becca that would be great.

Ben and I will be out of town today, but we'll be up for an early morning practice tomorrow. Maybe we can practice after the service tomorrow or another day this week before the holiday weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi everyone. It sure seems like a long time since I have seen some of you. Missing a week at church seems to take me out of the loop. It would be great if we could get together to practice today if we are able. I'm not sure when the square dance is tonight or if things like instruments etc need moving. If 4pm would work out that would be great. I want to do some checking with Chet etc. before hand. I think he is gone this am but I should be able to check with him by noon. Sorry this is last minute. We can pick the songs when we get together or if it looks like that won't happen I will send another blog later.

Songs for Easter Sunday

The song selection looks great to me. I will see you Sat around 4pm for practice. Sounds like a great Sunday service and other activities planned.
God is good, Joel

The Easter Agenda

Awww, shucks, Joel! We love you too! We'll miss you tonight at the Maundy Thursday service.

Here's what we have lined up for that:

• Lord I Lift Your Name
• You shall Love the Lord Your God (Mattie Marie's new one)
• Glory to God in the Highest for closing song

For Easter, here's what we talked about last Sunday:

• Christ the Lord is Risen Today hymn
• Open the Eyes of My Heart
• In Christ Alone
• Glory of God
• Psalm 40 (maybe let people sit down at this point, as it's a lot of songs) :-)

Ben and I threw in Open the Eyes of My Heart Lord, if you have objections, Joel, let us know. We'd like to have a very brief practice on Saturday at 4pm, just to run through Sunday's agenda as there's no way to meet early on Sunday also the hymn and Glory of God are a little new to us all.

As Joel said, you guys are all wonderful and it's a privilege to lead worship with you! If anyone is inspired to do a Good Friday fast with us, join us in a prayerful Good Friday.

Love and peace to you, B&B

Sunday 3/28/10

Give us clean hands
I will not be shaken
God of wonders
The Glory of God
What a great time of worship this morning was. I was very blest by the new song The Glory of God. Thanks to Ben and Becca for teaching this to us. There are times when I am able to stand back and realize how good God is in bringing people into my life that are a true blessing through freindship and in this case making worship music possible for our church. Thanks to Ben and Becca, Joey, Ben L, Sam, Cat, Boo, Kayla and anyone else who has contributed to our worship time in church. God is using all of you to make our worship time at Lifebridge a joy for him.
I love each one of you.

OK, to those of you who weren't here to practice on the new stage, we can actually hear ourselves now. It's really weird. We need to practice early tomorrow since it's so totally weird.
