Sunday Setlist [Easter 09 Edition]
Easter 09 @ House of Joy
We met at the Valdosta High School Performing Arts Center which is an amazing place to do anything creative. It was a great day. Our theme was Elevate. We had great attendance numbers and it was definitely wonderful to meet all together in one service. Wish we could meet at VHS every week. Sadly, our school board has a policy designed to keep churches from meeting in schools regularly.
We met Saturday night for a few hours and set up most everything and then came in early this morning to do final checks. It was AMAZING to have 2 hours to use for rehearsal. There were a few stressful moments tied to meeting in and using the facilities, but overall it was an amazing experience.
The screen for our presentation was HUGE! I’d guess about 25 feet high floor to ceiling. The stage was enormous. Think theater, musical, drama, high school band/symphony concert huge. The screen in the picture raised and lowered like a stage curtain. Behind that is as much stage space as is in front of it, maybe more. We were able to use the house sound and lighting systems, which made for a beautiful environment.
1. We Shine (Fee):
CCLI Song #5039243. Key Am/A. Great song. We do it pretty similar to recorded version.
2. Revelation Song (Riddle):
CCLI Song #4447960. Key C. This one always rocks. We do it with a whole lot more teeth than the Gateway Worship version.
3. With Long Life (Houghton):
CCLI Song #5039243. Key Cm. I personally love this one. It always goes over well with our crowd.
4. I Will Rise (Tomlin):
CCLI Song #518345. Key G. This is the first time we’ve done this one. We used a smaller “band” to do this one and I sang lead by myself on this. Big props to our acoustic guitar player, Keith, who brought his keys and layed down some SWEET strings action. I played the grand piano. It was beautiful.
Here’s our drummers having fun after service:
Happy Easter Everyone! Easter Sunday Setlists from all over the world!
I think that was an awesome set for today- With Long life!?!?!?! that’s awesome.
@Justin: Indeed! We rock it!
It’s photo day with the worshippers – love it!
I’ve said it before Russ, but I love coming here and seeing how different your sets are to “the norm”. I wanna visit HoJ someday (maybe we need to do our Sunday SetList Blog Carnival tour of the US…haha)
great List, and blog! So glad I came “over” for a visit! Thanks for all your of useful information you have here. I will be visiting often!
“Revelation Song” is such a great song choice for Easter! Love that song!
I would love to hear you guys do “With Long Life.” Did you record anything?
We rock out “Revelation Song” as well. Great minds think alike!
WE SHINE! HA, oh man that’s so awesome! I’d love to be able to do stuff like this at our church :) Good thing I’m the Youth Pastor and can do it there haha!
@David: Come on over! We’d love to have you.
@Trisha: Thanks for stopping by!
@Steff: Indeed, Rev Song is one of our favorites!
@Mike: I think our drummer got our set on video, I’ll have to see if With Long Life turned out ok.
@Conner: We Shine is a great song. It’s pretty monotonous, but for some reason is really fun to do anyways!
Wow, it must have been great to fit everyone into one service! I think I Will Rise is going to be a regular in our services (if I can convince the team to drop it just a hair – we did Ab, and the harmony is a leetle bit high!)
Looks like you had a great service.
Happy Easter!
@Jennifer: It was a great feeling to know that everyone was in the same service!
