THE LAUNCH! JANUARY 31ST - UPDATED 1/27, 6:30 pm

Can you believe the launch is this weekend? 

Well, I can, actually.  Things are INSANE this week.  If you can give us any help, PLEASE call the office.  We need you.
Here is a line up for this coming week's launch of Celebration Church.

Praise & Worship Set:
 Again I Say Rejoice
Say So
Wrap Me In Your Arms
How He Loves

Colors:  Black and White ~ let's make an effort to be extra sharp this coming week.  This is a big day! 

Choir songs:  (yes, there will be two!  This is a big day!)  We will do, "Give Him the Praise" and "We Lift You Up"

This Sunday we need everyone including choir there at 8 am.  This is a huge deal...we have a whole new set up for this week, new sound equipment, etc. and we cannot afford to not be ready at 10:30 and have all the kinks worked out.  We MUST get started at 8 am, not just "arrive" at 8 am or "set up" at 8 am.  There will be differences this week not only sound system wise, but even in the way we stand and the rest of the stage set up.  Main point:  We need you there on time!!! 

Don't forget to call our office and sign up for the launch party if you haven't already!!! 

Don't forget to call/e-mail and facebook everyone you know about attending this weekend!!!

We love you and are looking ahead to an amazing day. p.s. got some surprises for you at rehearsal on Sunday!  Can't wait to tell you!

Sunday, January 24

One more week as Northside!  But as you can see I have already changed the blog to reflect our new church. There are so many changes like this to be made and I can't wait til' the last week to make them all or it would be overwhelming.

Here's what is happening this week in worship:

Worship Set:
Freedom
I am Free
How Great is Our God/How Great Thou Art
How He Loves

Choir Song:  Alpha and Omega  (New song we learned last week at choir.  Will need to work on this with the band.  PLEASE be on time!

We will have one more week of "your own color choice" for the colors for the week, but be informed now that the COLOR FOR LAUNCH WEEK will be BLACK AND WHITE.

Be in much prayer for the launch and get those invite cards out!!!

I love you all.

Sunday Morning, January 17

Don't forget, this is our annual week of prayer!   Please be in prayer and fasting and participate in the prayer opportunities this week. 

Worship Set:

Blessed Be Your Name
I Know Who I am
Amazing Love (You Are My King)
How He Loves (new song, see post below)

Choir song:  In That Name (from Obvious)

Colors:  Your choice, just make sure it's within platform code

Did you take some invite cards for the launch??!!  Get 'em out there! 

New song ~ "How He Loves"

Please note:  I like the version by the David Crowder Band better but Youtube had disabled the ability to post it.  Please note our version will be closer to that one.


HOW HE LOVES

He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.


Pre-Chorus:
And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

Chorus 1:
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves.

Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves.


Verse 2:
We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
So Heaven meets earth like an unforseen kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Get ready to be stretched!!!

New things ahead!

Worship Set:
Again I Say Rejoice
Say So
Desert Song
Wrap Me In Your Arms

Choir Song:  Lord, We Give You Glory  (new song we learned Sunday!)  If Epi is not ready on solo I will do something very familiar.

Colors:  Again, your choice - just keep it within platform code, please

Please note that the next choir lunch/rehearsal will be January 17.  It is going to be a fundraiser lunch to get as many upgrades as we can to our sound/stage before the launch.  I have some major things to talk to you about on Sunday, so please BE THERE and ON TIME so we can rehearse and then discuss what we need to talk about as a team.  I do not want to wait until the 17th to talk to you about this so I ask that you be there asap on Sunday to give me adequate time to share with you about some changes.  This is one reason why I am doing a very familiar set.
