CFC Third Service

The band had a great night at CFC with both new members Matt (drums) & Mash (bass). Our set was: Arise, Brand New Day (a new one!), Our God is Mighty (another new one!), Our God Reigns and Here I am to Worship. The set flowed really well and the new songs went down sooo well. We have played 'Brand New Day' before and got a good response and people seemed to have remembered it and got stuck in this time. It is such a great song to play and works really well at the opening of a set. JP introduced 'Our God is Mighty' and then taught it. We ended up playing it twice in a row because it went so well and people really began to engage. It is such a great song, probably because it just points to God and who He is. It is sooo encouraging to see people respond to this song - I hope you like it when you get the album.

We had been praying before hand that God would do something significant and that we would lead people gently but boldly and I think we did ok. In fact Johnny lead really well!!!!! The last two songs in the set were really poignant in that people began to physically respond to God and take on a posture of humility, reverence and worship. It was so encouraging to see people respond in this way. To be honest, I was kinda hoping I could just bow down. God is soo awesome and so unbelievably worthy of our worship. The least we could do last night was bow down, raise our hands and sing our vocal chords to death. It is such a privilege to be involved in leading people in worship. Never let me forget that!
