Sunday Setlist [5.15.11]

Russ Hutto — Sun, 15 May 2011 11:33:08 +0000

My wife and I will be worshiping with the fine folks at Providence Worshiping Arts Center in Jesup, GA today. Today it will just be me on the guitar and us singing. Here’s today’s planned setlist: 1) Christ is Risen (Maher): Key of G. Great song! I typically do this (with my home church) in [...]

Behind the Scenes Success May Be Better Than In Your Face Glory!

Russ Hutto — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:56:21 +0000

I got this comment on one of my Sunday Setlists posts this weekend. It’s from a good friend of mine and one of my former students from my youth pastor days. I spent a lot of time pouring into the lives of those kids. We had a great core group of kids that were musically [...]

Sunday Setlist [July 4, 2010]

Russ Hutto — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 00:35:22 +0000

Today I had the great privilege of leading worship at Emanuel UMC in Brunswick, GA. I’ll be leading there the next 2 weeks. They welcomed me with open arms and we had a great time rehearsing Thursday night and then service today. 1) America The Beautiful. Because. 2) The Lord Reigns (Hutto original): Key G. [...]

God. Family. Church.

Russ Hutto — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:00:58 +0000

I was recently reading a thread in a discussion forum about ministry and priorities. Someone posted something to the effect of: Our priorities should be God. Family. Church. I think that’s wonderful. I’ve heard it before. In fact, many, many times. I’ve heard it in staff meetings. I’ve heard it at leadership conferences and prayer [...]

Sunday Setlist [04.11.2010]

Russ Hutto — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 03:01:46 +0000

Today Lydia and I had the privilege of leading worship for Rush Hour (the middles school service for St. Simons Community Church). What an honor. What a great time. What a wonderful sound. To hear about 75 middle schoolers singing lout to Jesus “Here I am to worship…here I am to bow down…here I am [...]

3 Ways to Add Worship Team Members

Russ Hutto — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:33:27 +0000

One of my “weaknesses” as a Worship Leader is recruiting. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the person who wants to go out and get all up in people’s faces trying to persuade them to join the team. That being said, there are ways to build a team without being a recruit [...]

Worship Songwriters: Want to Go Deep?

Russ Hutto — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:52:05 +0000

So you want to be a successful worship songwriter? Here’s a pointer: Write deep stuff. Not obscure. Not psychedelic. Not indecipherable. Not over spiritual. Just deep. I saw Carlos Whitaker share a review from his latest EP in which a reviewer basically gave it 1 star because they felt it wasn’t “deep” enough. One of [...]

Sunday Setlist [PWAC Jesup 2.7.10]

Russ Hutto — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:16:52 +0000

Had the great privilege of leading worship at Providence Worshiping Arts Center in Jesup, Ga today. It’s been a while since I’ve worshiped there and I always enjoy the warm welcome and the freedom given to just go for it in God. It was only me on an acoustic this trip, which I REALLY enjoy [...]

Get Into It!

Russ Hutto — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 03:42:01 +0000

I really enjoy leading worship. And check out my good friend, Cortni, making a joyful noise in the background. And then there’s the bass player, Chris, singing along as well! Whether you’re leading a youth service, leading Sunday morning worship for the adults, or leading worship for your toddlers, there’s nothing better then having a [...]

Worship Confessional: Fasting As Worship

Russ Hutto — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:42:18 +0000

I’m almost ashamed to say that I’ve never truly fasted. I’ve fasted “things” or “distractions” in my life…but never a true fast (food). Up until this week. Now I’m not bragging about my fast or trying to glorify MY attempt to fast, but merely sharing how wonderful it was to fast, pray, and worship with [...]
