Yesterday was a good day. We're in a series called "Space Invaders" - it's about prioritizing so that we build space around the events, expenses, etc. of in our lives so that we can be generous with our finances and time. Set list: You Are Good (Houghton): Key E. CCLI Song #3383788. Females lead. Pretty standard arrangement, except at the end we go back into the "You are good, all the time, all the time, You are good" line and vamp on that some ... Read More

Today was grand. He Reigns (Peter Furler/Stave Taylor): Key of D. CCLI Song #4026635. We introduced this older song last month and it was well received. We do more rocked out version than the radio version of this Newsboys song. All in all, I'd say the simple repetition of the chorus makes this a great song to sing congregationally. Today Is The Day (Lincoln Brewster/Paul Baloche): Key of Bb. CCLI Song #5200924. One of our new favorites. We've done it 3 or 4 times. ... Read More

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. But don't let that fool you, we rock it with plenty of funky soul. One of our female lead vocalists tears this one up (again a great option ... Read More
