January 3rd Song List

I think you all know by now, but I will be out of town for the next week so there will be NO PRACTICE on Wednesday, Dec 30th.

Here are the songs planned for January 3rd, though:

All Over the World - G

Beautiful One - G

How Great is Our God

Jesus Messiah - G

Breathe - G

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and I can't thank you enough for all the hard work and time you put into the worship team!

Christmas Eve Service

The Christmas Eve service is fast approaching! It should be pretty simple, only four songs:

Silent Night (we're already doing this one Sunday so we should be all practiced up)

Joy to the World

Hark the Herald Angels Sing (I think this one will be a piano song, no guitars)

Amazing Grace

We'll try to work on them some at practice on Wednesday along with our regular stuff so you guys won't have to come in too early on Christmas Eve to rehearse. Again, Stephanie will be leading the singing and Jon and Lisa will be our other two singers. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Dec 27th Song List

Here is the song list for next Sunday. I will be in Montana still this Sunday so Stephanie is going to lead for me. The songs should all be ones everyone is pretty familiar with (I hope).

Blessed Be Your Name

Enough

Mighty to Save

Surrender

Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)

Dec 20th Song List

I admit, I am slightly impressed with myself for having this done so early. =o) So, here is the song list for Sunday, Dec 20th:

No One Like You

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (depending on how things go tonight)

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

What Child Is This? (maybe not quite like this)

Jesus Messiah

Program

As you all know we have the Kid's Christmas program this Sunday so the worship team won't be playing at all. I would still like you all to come to practice tonight, but unless you're involved in the Kid's Program you DON'T NEED TO COME EARLY THIS SUNDAY! (cue loud cheers of glee)

We also have the communion service next Wednesday so I'll be recruiting singers for that tonight. (and for the Christmas Eve service)

See you all tonight!

Dec 6th Song List

Can you believe it's almost December??? Here is the song list for next Sunday, though the order is still to be determined.

Give Me Your Eyes

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

The Heart of Worship

O Worship the King

Sing to the King

Have a great weekend!

Here is the song list for next Sunday:

For all You've Done - E

Forever - G

Jesus Paid it All - G

Jesus Messiah - G

(that may or may not be the order...) =o)

I think we are going to work on Today is the Day this Wednesday, too. There are so many new songs I want us to learn, but I don't want to lose some of the ones we already know either!

Tentative Song List for Nov 15th

Hi Guys,

Here is a tentative song list for this week. I know I'm throwing some new stuff at you, but please be patient and flexible with me as we try and work through it!

Enough - G

I am Free - G

Pharaoh Pharaoh - C

Might to Save - C

Wonderful Cross - D

See you tomorrow!

I am Free

Hi Guys,

I know this is short notice and may not come together in time, but I would like to attempt "I am Free" for this Sunday. If you get a chance to start listening to it that would be great.

The rest of the list will be coming...

Nov 8th Completed Song List

It came together faster than I thought, so here is the completed song list for next Sunday.

No One Like You - G

Because of Your Love - G

Better is One Day - E

Draw Me Close - G

See ya soon!

Nov 8th Partial Song List

Greetings,

I don't have the complete song list worked out for next Sunday, but I wanted to at least give you what I have.

No One Like You

Better is One Day

Here is a cheesy version of a cheesy song too, Pharoah Pharoah. I believe we will be doing on the 15th.

Pharoah Pharoah

Chorus:

Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh baby, Let my people go! (yeah, yeah, yeah . . .)

Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh baby, Let my people go!

Well, the burning bush told me just the other day

That I should come over here and say

Got to get my people out of Pharaoh's hand

And lead them on over to the Promised Land.

Chorus

Well, all of God's people came to the Red Sea

With Pharaoh's army coming after me

I raised my rod, stuck it in the sand

And all of God's people walked across dry land.

Chorus

Well all of Pharaoh's army was coming too

So what do you think that I did do?

I raised my rod and cleared my throat

And all of Pharaoh's army did the dead man's float.

Chorus

Nov 1st Song List

Good morning all! Tis a beautiful brisk (a.k.a. COLD!) fall morning out! =o) Here is the song list for this coming Sunday. As far as I know all our musicians will be back so I think it's time to attempt the new song!

No One Like You - G

Beautiful One - G

You Are the One - E

Your Name - G

See you Sunday!

P.S. The "Your Name" link should be fixed now.

August 9th Song List

It's only Monday and I'm already posting the song list! Shocking I know! =o) Ok, maybe not so much, but here is the list anyway.

Hi Guys,
Here is the song list for this Sunday. Hopefully they will all be pretty easy and straight forward. That was my goal anyway, since we DON'T HAVE PRACTICE THIS WEDNESDAY due to VBS at church. Let me know if any of you want to get together sometime and work through some stuff. Otherwise we'll MEET ON SUNDAY MORNING AT 8:45 to give us a little extra time to work through the songs. Lisa and Helen are our vocals this week.
Thanks so much and we'll see you Sunday!
My Savior Lives
For All You've Done
At The Cross
Your Name

Song List for June 21st

Hi Guys,
Here is the song list for this week:
Hallelujah
Indescribable
He Knows My Name
In Christ Alone

I would like to try In Christ Alone a bit different than we've done it in the past, primarily adding the drums. And for Indescribable I have different chords keeping it in the same key throughout the whole song and keeping from getting so high to sing. See you Wednesday!

Greetings Fellow Musicans!

Welcome to the new Elk Creek Worship Team blog (exclusively for worship team members - ok, not really, but it makes us sound cooler that way...)! Anyway, my goal is to keep you all posted with the up and coming songs at least a week ahead of time (if I get really on top of things you might have even more notice!). I must warn you though, while I will do my best to keep to the plan, all schedules are subject to change. The tenative plan for this week is:

Enough
Indescribable (or Mighty to Save, we'll see)
The Heart of Worship
Here I am to Worship

See you Wednesday!

P.S. Theoretically, if you clink on the songs that are underlined it will take you to an mp3 file where you can listen to it. We'll see if I did it right!

Bigger Than My Imagination

I wanted to post a link to a new song for you guys to starting listening to and see what you think. I think it's a really cool song and was thinking if you guys like it we might start working on it in a couple weeks. It's called Bigger Than My Imagination and talks about the greatness of God and how He far exceeds anything we could imagine! Let me know what you think!

Summer Schedule

June 21st - Team 1
June 28th- Team 2
July 5th - Team 1
