Next Chapel - Dec 3

Our next Chapel looks like it will be Dec. 3rd.  So we'll have 3 full practices before our last practice with the in ear monitors and the new sound system, not counting the one we had yesterday.  Special kudos to T.F. for getting to practice promptly, working diligently on getting everything set up, and for filling in on keys. 

Our line up for Dec. 3 is below with notes about the arrangements.  Again, I want to encourage you all with a couple of things I've said before...

1. The power of God to move in our worship is amazing.  Believe it.  God can move and change hearts in ways we'll never understand when we encourage people to sing and lift their hearts (and hands, and lives) to him in song.  We provide the foundation, the atmosphere for God to move.  What we say, how we sing, act, move, etc. is all part of that foundation and atmosphere.
2. A bit of a mental exercise for you related to the song Undignified - ask yourself 'What would it be like to dance before the Lord with all your might?'  Have you ever considered that?  How would it feel?  What would you do?  All interesting questions.  I'm not an accomplished dancer by any means.  I can't do handsprings or backflips or even a great moonwalk.  Imagine David sweating, spinning in a cloud of dust, just going for it in front of the ark of the covenant.  We don't really consider dance much in worship these days.  Its an interesting though, especially given the words of this song we'll be doing (Undignified).

So, having gotten that off my mind, here's our set list, in order:

Undignified 

Bass, Elec. Guitar - you two will follow each other in the intro and the musical interludes between verses.  The line goes like this: D D D D G G G G G G F# F# E E E E and repeat

Drums - try and emulate the drums exactly like they do in this arrangement.  

Keyboards - at 2:20 there is a cool part that one of you could try (its a guitar part, but you could do it on the keyboard - ask me about the patch to use)

Joy to the World

Elec. Guitar - you've got the guitar lead on this - intro and then the part I should you for the 'joy unspeakable joy' part.

Drums (and everyone) - listen to how they build the 3rd verse

We will NOT be doing the key change.  We'll stay in C for the entire song.

I found a love

Bass - listen to the bass - he's got a great feel - I know it's easy for you but it will provide a great foundation for us.
Drums - again, try and emulate the drums as close as you can.  If you get bored watch what the drummer does in the intro with his hihat.

I Exalt Thee

This is a way longer, more complicated version than we will do.  We'll keep it simple.  We'll play it in F.  Start listening around 4:15 - That's kind of what I'm going for.  The verse will be more subdued.

I'll bring sheet music for all of these next week.  Please listen to these (many times) and practice this week so we'll be in good shape for practice next week.
Thanks a bunch, gang!
