November 8 - Remembrance Day Sunday

November 8 recap from Paul Mugarura on Vimeo.


Song list for this past Sunday was as follows:

For all you've done (Ruben Morgan)
You are Good (Israel Houghton - the Travis Cottrell Version)
King of Majesty (Marty Sampson)
Let the praises ring (Lincoln Brewster)
I know who I am (Israel Houghton and Chris Tomlin)
In Christ alone with the solid rock (Keith Getty and Stuart Townend)
Lord I run to you (Tommy Walker)
Today (Brian Doerksen)

Trouble with MediaShout. I generally have a difficult time with playing quicktime files (videos or moving backgrounds) on MediaShout. I find that the solution they prescribe - Quicktime Alternative - is a hit or miss depending on the file. I've been wondering if the new version of iMovie in the iLife suite on Macs is spitting out a newer version of quicktime files. Is anybody in the worship community that uses MediaShout having similar problems?

We had a gentleman in the military show up with his bagpipes this past sunday morning and it actually worked out very well because the video I had produced would not work on our projection PC. So we had a military procession with him playing "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes followed by the congregation singing the national anthem. It turned out great and we ended up coming off as having a well thought out and polished remembrance day moment... thank the Lord for that!

So... how was your sunday morning service?

November 1 Recap - Cajon and Djembe Sunday


Here is the song list from last week and the styles in which we attempted to play them:

Better is one day (Matt Redman) - world beat-ish
I will search (Israel Houghton) - same as above
Be the centre (Michael Frye) - same as above

Majesty (Here I am) (Martin Smith and Stuart Garrard) - Pseudo Reggae
It is You (Peter Furler) - World beat - ish

Amazed (Jared Anderson) - shakers only, laid back

It was hard work preparing to lead worship while playing the cajon, shakers and djembe, but I think that we did OK and pulled it off just fine.
