Folk - Hope you're all doing well. I'm on my 12th day of being sick...it is no fun. Swine flu? Perhaps. I'd be the first known case in Washington State...does that make me a hero? Here's the layout for this week:

Ensemble: EAGLE (Minus one "wing")
Eric (A. Guitar, Piano, Voice)
Jerry (E. Guitar, Voice)
Tom (B. Guitar, Voice)

- - - - - - - -

Gathering Song – "Still Haven't Found.../Open The Eyes of My Heart" (E)
Opening Song:
- "Meet With Me" (A)
- "How Great Is Our God" (A)
- "Lord, We Abide In You" (D)
Communion Songs:

IMPORTANT!: Last week I spoke of a memorial service causing us to have to rehearse late. That service has been moved to Wednesday so we will meet at the normal 6:30 time on Thursday night. See you fellas then! - E.T.

NOTE: Eric will play the "liturgical" songs. Ex: "Song of Praise", "Offertory". If/when a "setting" is adopted for the Celebration service other instruments will be worked in as they are needed/as it is appropriate.

Folk - After such an excellent day of worship on Sunday, take a week off! We welcome Matthew Both and the Sudanese choir from King of Kings to lead us in worship on the 19th of this month. I'll offer a few songs in the mix, as well as introduce the new theme song. We will gather again for rehearsal on April 23rd. Please watch the blog early next week for the new info. Hope to see you all quite soon. - E.T.

Folk - Easter Sunday! Excellent. This week is unique as we'll have to different "teams" leading worship at the 9:30 and 11:00 services. Below you'll see the layouts for both ensembles, even though both are under the "FULL" designation.

Missy - Voice
Tom - B. Guitar, Voice
Wendie - Voice

The music for both services is identical! Please look below for the order of worship:

Gathering Song: "Out Of The Ground He Arose" (Choir and Congregation)
Opening Songs:
- "My Redeemer Lives" (E)
- "I Will Call Upon The Lord" (D)
Communion Songs:
- "Jesus, Name Above All Names" (C) (Eric)
- "All In All" (D)
- "Let Us Break Bread Together" (D)
- "Kairos Medley" (D)
- "Sanctuary" (C)
Closing Song: "In Christ Alone" (G)

If you have any questions about either service please let me know.

We will rehearse tomorrow (Thursday, the 9th) after the Holy Thursday worship service! Please be there on time (come to worship so you can be!) and prepare to stay as late as necessary to go over the music. Most of the songs are well-known and shouldn't take too much grinding. I do encourage you all to make time to attend the worship services Thursday and Friday evening; they will be awesome!

See you tomorrow night - E.T.

P.S. - If I didn't place you in either of the services for Easter it's because 1) I forgot...sorry! or 2) you didn't respond to me. Please let me know if there's been an error.
