Worship Set:

Again I Say Rejoice

Get Ready for Revival

You Are Near

Here in Your Presence

Choir Song:  "Your Favor"

Colors:  Your choice - stay within modesty guidelines.

You will notice there is a new song, "Here in Your Presence."  Find the lyrics and a video posted below this post.  Please familiarize yourself with this before Sunday!  You will note I have made the rest of the set very familiar so we have most of rehearsal time to work on this song.

Also we have choir rehearsal after church on Sunday, working on the musical.  We will do a COMPLETE RUN THROUGH OF THE EASTER MUSICAL.  I need all of you to come prepared with solos, speaking parts, etc. ready to roll!  This week we need to get started by 1:30 pm if at all possible to give enough time to do this.  Thank you for your diligence.

Also a reminder that we need Easter candy - name brand chocolates that are individual - miniature wrapped things like  Hershey kisses, Hershey bar miniatures, KitKat, Almond Joy, etc.  If you have bags of these please bring them to me asap.

Great job last week - you guys knocked it out of the park.  Things were at fever pitch.  I love you guys, so glad for every single one of you on this amazing team!!

New Song: Here in Your Presence

You can find the video for this song by clicking here. 

Verse 1
Found in Your hands
Fullness of joy
Every fear suddenly wiped away
Here in Your Presence
All of my gains
Now fade away
Every crown no longer on display
Here in Your Presence
(PRE-CHORUS)
Heaven is trembling in awe of Your wonders
The kings and their kingdoms are standing amazed

Chorus 1
Here in Your Presence
We are undone
Here in Your Presence
Heaven and earth become one
Here in Your Presence
All things are new
Here in Your Presence
Ev'rything bows before You

(BRIDGE)
Wonderful beautiful glorious
Matchless in ev'ry way

Choir ~ we have rehearsal again after service this week for the Easter Musical.  Please keep going in your books to the next song.  This is giving us a great head start into the month of April when we need to wrap everything up.  At rehearsal Sunday detailed instructions were given about clothing and what you need to get for the Easter Musical.  (If you were not at rehearsal you need to receive papers with detailed instructions about this from me on Wednesday night.  Please do not e-mail me about this and ask what is needed...there are papers explaining this in detail but I cannot send these as an attachment to you.  We also selected colors on Sunday at rehearsal and if you did not choose your color on Sunday you will have opportunity to make a selection based upon what is left on the list on Wednesday night.)

Thanks for your dedication to this ministry and to Celebration as a whole.  You are loved and appreciated!

Always,

Sunday, March 20

I'm back this week!  Thanks for your prayers for me while I was away ministering in the Caymans, and now as I'm still recooperating from voice strain.  I look forward to being with you this week and I heard that last week went just great, with five people coming to Jesus.  Wow-ee!  Can't wait to see what He will do this week as we seek Him.

Worship Set:

Blessed be Your Name

Hosanna, Praise is Rising

The Heart of Worship

When All is Said and Done

Choir Song:  "You Are" from Obvious 

Colors:  Your Choice - stay within modesty guidelines

Choir members ~ We have choir rehearsal this week after service.  Please be prepared to get something quickly on your own or bring a bag lunch and be back to the church by 1:45 PM.  

This week you need to be ready for Christ Arose.  Please note we have choir rehearsal every Sunday afternoon in April leading up to Easter (April 24) in order to be ready for the big day.  By the first Sunday in April I need you to have "I Love the Lord" and "Finale" ready.  This way we can put narrations and drama together the remaining Sundays.  Although we're close to having songs ready to go we've got a lot to do beyond that to put it all together.

Also, in preparation for Easter I need you to make sure you have a pair of black dress pants (not jeans) and DARK black (not faded) ready to go.  I will give you additional instruction at the next rehearsal.  Please make sure for now that you have this basic item as well as black shoes - not sneakers or flip flops.  Thanks!

 

If you have any questions please e-mail me.  Love you all...

Hey Team ~

Thanks again for a fantastic Sunday morning last week as well as a great choir rehearsal in the afternoon.  You guys rocked it!

This Sunday I'll be ministering in the Cayman's on my missions trip.  Dustin will be leading you.  He will be doing some songs you know and others you don't.  It's imperative that you be there for rehearsal, and on time.  Work together as a team to get it all done by service time.  Once again please refer to my communication by e-mail with the team this week as well as the manual (Expectations for Excellence).    I'm expecting to hear about a very smooth Sunday, with 100% cooperation!

Sunday Morning Set:

Yours Forever
Our God
Give me faith
Hosanna  

Rescue

There will be no choir song this week - Dustin will handle special music.

Colors:  Your choice, please follow platform/modesty guidelines. 

Choir members ~ keep working hard on the Easter Musical...you are doing FANTASTIC!  Next afternoon rehearsal (March 27) we will move on to Christ Arose!   Please note we have choir rehearsal every Sunday afternoon in April leading up to Easter (April 24) in order to be ready for the big day.  By the first Sunday in April I need you to have "I Love the Lord" and "Finale" ready.  This way we can put narrations and drama together the remaining Sundays.  Although we're close to having songs ready to go we've got a lot to do beyond that to put it all together.

Keep me in prayer while I'm traveling this weekend and ministering - for protection and anointing.  I love you all and will miss you greatly but I know things are going to go from glory to glory here -- new level -- and I'm expecting great reports.

You guys did a FANTASTIC job last week!!!  Way to roll with it and be flexible.  I am so proud of all of you.  The service was dynamic.  The Holy Spirit was present to do a work.  You gave your best.  I am so thankful for all of you.

Thanks for your continued prayers this week that I be at full capacity next week.  I'm so grateful for your patience with me.  :)

Here's the 4-1-1 for this week:

Sunday Morning Set:
I Am Free

Also we do have choir practice once again.  We have it a lot right now in preparation for the upcoming Easter Musical    Please go on to listen to your entire CD over and over and be prepared to do at least the next two songs in the book.  For time's sake right now we won't do a choir luncheon - just eat a bag lunch or stop quickly to get something and we'll get down to business by 1:45 and I'll release you by 3:00 pm. 

Thanks for being the most enthusiastic and flexible team in the universe.  I love you!
