CA- yes, I've heard of Jason Upton, but only have one song of his. Was preparing to play it at Annette's wedding as a back-up. Haven't heard of Misty Edwards, though. I'll check them both out when I get my laptop back from the shop.

Gary: It's a fun, uplifting song that really pulls people in. The band loves to play it (me especially, being the guitarist) and the congregation really gets into singing it. I've got charts and can provide links to some YouTube instructional vids if you need.

MCC: Thanks for the encouraging word :)

I think this carnival will be a great resource for you. Sounds like you're really open to finding the best way to impact your church's worship time.

I've been really considering doing "How Can I Keep from Singing" at our church. I've always wondered how that did in a local church.

Thanks for all the comments, folks.

Thanks for all the comments, folks.

Fred - I love this idea, thanks for kicking it off. We do a lot of songs, but they're generally pretty short, 2-3 mins each with little to nothing between songs. I've not really paid much attention to how much time we spend each Sunday and don't know if we have a goal of a certain length, but I'd like to find out. I'd love to make some changes in what

We just started rehearsing that one. Very expressive to God. I am glad to see it in your set.

Steve, we have reduced the number of songs in our primary corporate worship set to be 3 songs, maybe 4. That way, we can allow for some really nice transitions, and some free worship at the ends of songs where we pick up on a phrase and go with it. Sometimes it's the drummer that takes it, sometimes the lead singer.

We still have a long list of songs for the day, but we scatter them

I have to agree with Fred here just a little. One of the concerns I've brought up at our church is that we usually have a really long set (today was the exception) and sometimes we don't have enough rehearsal time to put it together effectively.

Not a criticism, though...this is a great set! Did you do I Have Decided "Third Day" style? I'd like to try that with my worship team some

Steve,
Hey - thanks SO MUCH for jumping in on the Sunday Setlist idea. Hopefully, we'll do this every week ... at least, that's the idea. I hope you get lots of click-thrus to your blog, too.

About your setlist .... that's a ton of songs, it's awesome that you have that much time for corporate worship. About how much time do you devote to the singing/musical portion of your
