Part of Setlist Sundays over at Fred's place.
Not Forgotten (Israel Houghton/Aaron Lindsey): CCLI Song #4635576. Key E. We basically created our own arrangement. Not that the recorded version isn't great, but we find that a lot of Israel songs need to be simplified a little bit to promote accessibility to more musicians and singers.

Awesome day today. Pulled out some familiar oldies today.
1) Beautiful One (Tim Hughes): CCLI Song #3915912. Key C. We play it rocked out more than any version I've ever heard.

Disclaimer: A little something I sent to all of our worship team members this morning. Already I've gotten a handful of beautiful responses.
This guide will help you traverse the stormy waters known as the worship team. Little known to most outsiders this volunteer ministry could possibly be one of the most grueling adventures known to mankind. Comparable to climbing Mt. Everest, running the Iron Man, or swimming the English Channel, finding yourself within the ranks of other die-hard singers and musicians presents ... Read More
