At 10:00, the High School Youth Band and choir played, and led us in worship. We've been working together to prepare for quite a while, and this was their first time to lead worship with the current group. In the last 4 months we added a bass player, who had never played bass (or guitar) before,
and a drummer who started out as a keyboard player, and then taught himself how to play drums.
They did great! The whole group sounded great, and the congregation were singing along with GUSTO (that's a technical term). What a blessing it is for congregations to see the youth leading worship. Pastor James preached a great sermon, for anyone interested it will be posted at our website in a few days- www.ilcdg.orgSongs Used-

Over at Sanctuary1010 we had a guest band (5th Sunday's are always hard to cover), a group of students from Valparaiso University. Joel and his group were so willing to come out, and help us in leading worship, and even rehearsed at the church until 130am the night before! I really appreciate them being there! thank you Joel and band! Come back soon!
Although I wasn't at Sanctuary this morning, I heard that a fuse blew, I'm pretty sure this has only happened a few other times, in our 5 plus years in the theater, and I didn't hear if the problem was resolved (hope so).
Here is Joel's song list, I'm pretty sure, they did not do all of these songs.
From the Inside Out (pre-service- the fuse blew somewhere in the middle of this song)
Because of Your Love
Beautiful Jesus
possible songs for Face to Face ( looking through these songs, I see that Joel did a great job being thematic, as we were talking about Jesus as servant, and ourselves as servants. During Face to Face we had a station where you could come and have your feet (or hands) washed)
Give us Clean Hands
(Forever) The Nails in Your Hands
Washed by the Water (nice choice Joel!)
Unashamed
Jesus Paid it all
Love the Lord
I'm looking forward to hearing how this service went, in particular the foot washing station... wonder how many people just got their hands washed instead? I don't blame them! :)
