Easter Wrap-up

Yesterday (Easter Sunday) was an amazing day!

We've been taking part in a 21 day fast leading up to Easter and had an awesome worship experience Saturday night. where we celebrated with the Lord's supper.

Steven and Jonathon did a fantastic job leading worship.

Then yesterday was....

Setlist:
Oh happy day
Happy day

All around the world

Grace flows down
Amazing Grace
Lift high
Jesus paid it all

*You found me

Glory in the highest.


One of our band members happens to own a Hammond Organ, So the service kicked off with some ocking organ right into Oh happy day, from which we flowed directly into happy day.

All around the world is a rocking worship song from Elevation Worship, and having the organ in it just added another layer of depth to the song.

Grace flows down was a new one to me, but an amazing worship song, followed by the first verse of Amazing grace which led into Lift High which we cut short and then went right into Jesus paid it all. <- This was such a powerful moment the whole band dropped out and out four worship leaders all proclaming "Oh praise the One who paid my debt and raised this life out from the dead"


You found me served a double purpose, we used it over offering, but also as part of our promotional package for the service we had a video shoot with Jonathon (who co-led worship the night before) to this song so it was a tie-in for people who had seen it.


Finally we closed out the service with Glory in the highest, complete a team of volunteers foring a choir, another very powerful moment, about midway through the song when he choir came out, people everywhere stood up and joined us in worship, it was such an inspiring moment.

I was just humbled (and giddy, truth be known) that God allowed me to take part in this service (as I was originally scheduled to have off, I'm so glad it ended up working out the way it did).

Worship team:
Mia, Jeremy, Tom, Tammie, Elizabeth, Me, Ben, John, Bill + Choir
Sorry Choir, (I'm going to name who I can remember, but if I missed you i'm terribly sorry!) Jeanie, Dave, Willie, Tiffany, Leigh, Holly, Phil, Tim.
