Well, this past weekend was a wonderful weekend for worship.  It started on on Saturday where I had the opportunity to run the tech for our Women’s Connexion Retreat where I was able to worship while I was “working” and where I learned a thing or two about chocolate.

On Sunday night we had our Sunday Evening Connexions service.  Here was our set:

Walk-In Song:  “All Because of Jesus” (Steve Fee)

Set: “Glorious One” (Steve Fee)
“Everlasting God” (Brenton Brown)
“Mighty to Save” (Fielding\Morgan)

Offering: “Sometimes By Step” (Mullins) – Chorus Only
Closing: “Glory to God Forever” (Fee\Beeching)

This was the first week for “Glorious One” and I’m not sure how well it went over.  I taught the chorus and verse to the congregation before we did the whole thing.  The challenge with this is to put it into a key that is singable.  We had played around with a couple different keys during rehearsal and landed in A.  The only problem was that the verses got a little low.  I’m thinking we’ll bump it up to B if we do it again (though that does make the chorus precariously high for the women).

The message that Pastor Chuck delivered was entitled Possibilities and was based on Mark 10:17-27.  I felt that it was a reinforcement of some of what I learned from my chocolate judging experience that I had blogged about yesterday.  You can listen to it on-line here.

Next week will be a fun week for me.  In the morning I have the opportunity to go back and lead worship in Wadsworth at the Methodist Church where I had been for the last few years and then we have our lay speakers bringing the message at our Sunday Evening Connexions service in Rittman.
