The Church

Verse 1
We are the change
The world is waiting for
We've got a love
The world is desperate for
We will lead
And take to Your streets

Chorus 1
Now's the time for us to rise
And carry hope and let love shine
And show this world that mercy is alive
Now's the time for us to rise
And carry hope to hopeless eyes
And show this world that mercy is alive

Verse 2
We're not afraid
We will abandon all
To hear Your name
On lips across the world
We will run
In the wake of Your love


Misc 1
(BRIDGE)
Fill our hearts with Your compassion
Let our love be active here
Fill our hearts with Your compassion
Let our love be real

Sunday, January 9

It's very important that all members of CC worship ministries read this entire post to receive important information about the future.  (Just making sure those of you who click on just to get the "colors" for the week don't miss important info!)

First of all, GREAT JOB ON THE NEW SONG SUNDAY!!  SO MANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS!  THE CHURCH LOVED IT.  It really became our anthem for the week.  Get ready to do it again this week!

This Sunday's Set:
Freedom
Give Me Faith
You are On Our Side
Our God

Communion Song:  "How Precious is the Blood"

Colors:  Black and White


Please note there will be a very important choir lunch and rehearsal on Sunday, January 16.  Your attendance is extremely important for this day as it will entail a lot more than just lunch or practice.  I will be going over some very important expectations for the entire team, as well as sharing about some future things.  You will be responsible for this information whether you make the rehearsal or not, so please make every effort to be there.  We will be having worship ministries contracts for the 2011 year.  They will be expected to be signed by February 1st, for all new members, or for current members continued participation on the team.  The contract will be an agreement of all things contained in the Expectations for Excellence manual (which all team members already received upon joining the team) PLUS new information shared at the January 16 meeting.

This meeting/rehearsal will go until at least 3:30 this time in order to accomplish everything we need to go over so please prepare for that.

You will need to connect with Candy regarding food for the luncheon.  Our theme for this luncheon will be SOUP AND SALAD.  Everyone in the choir is asked to bring a SOUP or a SALAD -- dessert will be covered otherwise.  We will be planning for VARIETIES of soup/salad so please let Candy know exactly what kind you would like to bring and this will be coordinated.

We are also getting ready to welcome some new members to our team, so get ready, get ready, get ready for amazing things in store in 2011!

Love you all and appreciate you.

Sunday, January 2, 2011

Yes,we're really starting a new year already, can you believe it?  This Sunday is going to be a phenomenal Sunday as we kick off 2011 in a big way, going full steam ahead with all that God has for us at CC.  We'll be learning some new material this morning too, so be on time!  The new song is not available on You Tube so I am unable to post a video this time however the lyrics are below.  It is from Elevation Church's "Kingdom Come" CD.  This is is the same project that "Give Me Faith" is on.  It's an amazing project and we will do more songs from it.  If you want to download it to your Ipod or Zune you can do that and have the whole project.  I highly recommend it, just for your own praise and worship time at home. 

Band please be aware that we will do the song in the same key that Elevation does it.  If you would like a chart on Wednesday night I'll have one for you in advance.

Verse 1:

This is the day
This is the time
When all You spoke
Has come alive
We've seen You move
We've seen You fight

There are other elements going on within the service and all of this will be explained at rehearsal at 8 am

Get ready and be prayed up.

Angels We Have Heard On High

Our God
At the Cross (I bow my knee...)

Choir Song:  Silent Celebration (with duet by Alex & Aida Rivera)

Communion Song:  Lead Me to the Cross

New Song: He Reigns

It's the song of the redeemed
Rising from the African plain
It's the song of the forgiven
Drowning out the Amazon rain
The song of Asian believers
Filled with God's holy fire
It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation
A love song born of a grateful choir

It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

Let it rise about the four winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered underground
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
Some were meant to persist
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
None rings truer than this

And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they've just heard
'Cause all the powers of darkness
Can't drown out a single word

When all God's children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
All God's people singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He Reigns
