Sunday Recap: August 26th 2018
It was a bittersweet day. We said goodbye (for now) to two wonderful volunteers. A young woman moving to San Diego for school and a young man moving to China for work.
Working with volunteer teams is such a joy. Seeing people grow and mature musically and spiritually is a powerful thing to witness. Always pour into your volunteers and remember to honor and celebrate them when you can.
This weekend quite a few of our team members were unavailable. We had to get a little creative with some arrangements since we were missing a keys player and electric guitar. But often times limitations yield unexpected creative results.
SONGS
At Your Name - Phil Wickham
Normally a male lead song, this one sounds great with a female lead in the key of D
Rising Sun - All Sons & Daughters
We've had electric guitar and keys play the intro riff. This week we tried a violin. It turned out great! Wonderful harmonies on this one.
Tremble - Mosaic MSC
Our church is really connecting with this one. Such powerful lyrics. The vocal range is pretty challenging but I've found the key of D works well for a male vocal. It also puts the verses and lower choruses in a good range for a female.
The Electronic Drum patches were pulled from a Native Instruments sample bundle, edited in Logic Pro X, and imported into an SPD-SX.
Give Me Jesus - Bethel Music
This full song is great but I'll of lead only the chorus portion. Thematically it worked great as a sort of tag to "Tremble"
Throne Of Grace - Calvary Monterey Music
This is an original song by our team at Calvary Monterey. We're working on a studio version to be released as a single soon!
CALL TO WORSHIP
After two songs I again greeted our church family. I simply read Psalm 29, all 11 verses and moved into our third song without any commentary.
The Word of God is so powerful and life-giving. I'll often share two or three verses but reading a longer passage was very refreshing.
TEACHING
Our lead Pastor Nate Holdridge continued our series on the Life of David called God-Hearted.
This week he shared 12 ways the Restoration of God is Absolute. So powerful!
