This must have been “Bring-Every-Guest-You-Know” Sunday because we had so many visitors in the morning service. We had family visiting us and we even had a visitor/guest musician today on the team. Let me introduce you him. His name is Steve Phillips…..Steve – everybody. Everybody – Steve. Now that you know each other, let me tell you a little about him. Steve is an accomplished saxophone player based out of Kansas City and playing each week at Kansas City Baptist Temple as the artist-in-residence. You can find out more about him on his website or on facebook or by listening to him on iTunes.
Sometimes with so many guests, worship can be a little difficult with people not knowing the songs or just trying to figure out what we are doing – But – worship was really great this morning. We started out a little “old school” on the first song and then just gathered people from there. Steve ended up playing a great intro-solo on the hymn “The Solid Rock” and just added a great feel to the morning. I hope your day was great too. As always, this setlist (see below) is part of the Fred McKinnon Sunday Setlist fun. Feel free to leave a comment, question, or just have a little redonk-u-lous saxophone player envy.

I liked the songs this morning, hadn’t sung the last one before. For a still somewhat young person, I do prefer the older hymns because of their doctrine. Rearranging them into a contemporary sound gives both “generations” of worshipers some common ground which is neat to experience.
Dude, you know it blesses me to see a setlist all in G! Hope you had a great weekend filling the world with milky goodness, and will have a good visit to Omaha this week. Say hi to everybody!
Harold – thank you for blessing my “G”-ness and I’ll talk to you soon.
Carol – the last one is a song written/performed by Hillsong United that sounds a bit like a hymn. I love hymns as well and especially the hymn from this morning, “The Solid Rock”, because of the backstory. I may post about that this week…hmm…thanks for the idea! 🙂
Thanks, Daniel, and the entire worship team for putting up with me Sunday! I really enjoyed playing, and if you’d have me again, I’d really enjoy playing with you all again. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip!
As the visiting family, I concur – great worship. And great solo!
Thanks again for coming Steven – you are welcome to come and play anytime!
Seren (and family) thanks for being there as well!
It’s cool that you link the songs to iTunes.
