April 27 Debrief and New Songs for Acoustic Chapel

Great job on the prayer chapel everyone!  Special kudos out to:
- Keys for carrying us all the way through with solid background foundation!
- Acoustic Guitar for doing the same through the pain of your fingers
- J.L. for leading like you did - not just calling out queues in the songs, but also for the talking and direction you gave through the mic.

I thought as a band we provided great continuity for the chapel and communicated will with our song transitions and background music.  I also thought that we could work on knowing/memorizing our song mappings  :-)  It would help our confidence and that would help everyone follow us.  That gives us something we can improve on for our next chapel....

We're doing an all worship acoustic chapel next on May 25th - just after the long weekend and just before Grad.  We have 4 practices to put this together.  I'm excited and looking forward to this and I know you are too.  Here's the songs we discussed and agreed upon on Thursday:

Deep Cries Out    Key of E   Chord Chart

Set a Fire  Key of G   Chord Chart

You are Good  Key of G   Chord Chart

The Happy Song   Key of D  Chord Chart

10,000 Reasons   Key of E   Chord Chart

How Great is Our God   Key of G   Chord Chart

Closer  Key of E   Chord Chart
