Worship Confessional

Keeping with the Classic Rock theme in this series "Love Revolution" we did this song this week...



The Youth Band played this week and they nailed it! I think they're getting better every week. It's so much fun working with these High School kids (and one Middle Schooler). I even had one of our tech guys make the comment, "I like working with the kids better than the adults". That's because they're there at 7:00am and work hard to get everything setup on time so we can get a good sound check. By the way, I think our sound is getting better every week too!

Here's what we did...

Band:
Me - Agt/Vox
Daniel (aka PK) - Lead Guitar (he's beginning to shred!)
Crawford (aka hippie) - bass
Hannah (aka Middle Schooler) - Keys
Ross (aka Arnold) - Drums
Brandon (aka Dance freak) - Drums

That's right, we have 2 drummers. They're totally cool about switching it up. This week Ross played the first half of the set and Brandon played the second. Ross is a super tight Rockin' drummer and Brandon is a totally creative groove drummer. They're both excellent drummers and better than most adult drummers I've ever played with.

Set:
Oh Praise Him (Crowder)
Blessed Be Your Name (Redman)
-welcome-
We Can Work It Out (The Beatles)
-message-
Bend In The Road (Dave Reynolds) He did this toward the end of his message on his 12 string. Pretty cool... Check it out here
-message-
Amazing Grace - My Chains are gone (Tomlin's Version)
-offering-
Amazing Grace
-dismissal-
Amazing Grace Groove (this was fun!)

As you can see we mixed it up with kind of an old-school meets new school. It was great!

How often do you use your Youth in your Main Services?
