Farewell Elevation Church.

Yesterday was my last official Sunday as the Worship Pastor for Elevation Church. I helped plant this church out of my living room over 3 years ago with friends and family, and have been doing ministry with the lead pastor for about 8 years combined. As you might recall, this has been vocationally a part-time job for me, that I have supplemented with free-lance corporate Audio Visual Production work. For about the last 9 months, I have come to the realization, that the worship ministry of the church is in a good place, but I felt limited in time and resources to be able to grow as a worship leader. Having another volunteer pastor on staff who has always done an awesome job of leading the church in worship in my absence, I felt like God was releasing me of my duties here, and pulling me into some type of full-time opportunity. Within weeks, those conversations began to open up with a church in the area. Wanting to be completely honest with my fellow pastors/friends, I let them know immediately that this was a possibility and although saddened by this, they understood and we’re supportive. Although I have not finalized anything with the other church that I have been in long discussion with, it was decided that it was time for me to step down and pass the baton to my friend Steve to oversee the worship ministry of Elevation Church. I want to thank all who I’ve had the privilege of serving alongside of and wish God’s best for them as we move forward in this change.

So, in preparing this set for this special day, I wanted to select some songs that I loved to play and sing. Here is what I went with:

All Creatures of Our God & King – Hymn (D)
All Bow Down – Chris Tomlin (E)
Consuming Fire – Tim Hughes (G)
Where the Streets Have No Name – U2* Done as a special as kids were being dismissed (G)

(Sermon)
Send Revival, Start With Me – Matt Redman (C )
Fill My Cup – Martin Smith & Compassion Art writers (C )
The Everlasting – Damian Horne (A)
Not To Us – Chris Tomlin (A)

*While this is my last scheduled Sunday, I’ll be doing some Wednesday nights & guest leading at other churches that I’ll continue to blog about.
