This was quite an eventful morning! Ever have one of those mornings where almost nothing goes as planned, yet somehow it all works out? Well we experienced that this morning. This set list above didn’t happen in either service, although it was the plan. We had four very beautiful baby dedications in each service, and instead of the eight minutes we had planned, it turned out to be closer to 15. So, needless to say we adjusted our service accordingly, and cut a song in each service. How do you handle things like baby dedications in your services? Everyone did a great job today, though! We had the worship choir sing along with the team and band, so the energy level was very high! “Great I Am” is such a powerful song! If you haven’t tried this one yet, you need to at least listen to it. We had Jared Anderson at our church last October, and ever since then our church has embraced this song as a vehicle to just bask in the greatness and power of God. “You Are Good” was a newer song for us this morning – a great new upbeat song of praise from Bethel Live. You can watch the video of this service and see the Planning Center details.

- “Your Grace Is Enough” (Matt Maher)
Marv led the team in the Cafe this morning, and picked some great songs to along with our theme of “The Grace Factor”. Pastor Tim had an excellent sermon on grace, and we even had our own baby dedication in the Cafe – a first! You can see the Planning Center details for this service.
Traditional Service
- This Is My Father’s World
- Fairest Lord Jesus
- Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
- All That Thrills My Soul
- Grace Greater Than Our Sin

There are so many great hymns about God’s grace that it was hard to pick, but I had to include the last one – so fun to sing! You can see the Planning Center details and the video for this service.
This post is part of the Sunday Setlists blog at The Worship Community, where worship leaders share their setlists and service ideas from today. I included a pic below that I took this morning before everything got started. Thanks for reading, and I hope your services went great today!
Sounds like a good day, Barry.
When we can we try to do baby dedications at the beginning of the service, but that obviously requires the the dedicatees be there on time (not always the case). Often we do them after praise & worship (before the sermon). Haven’t tried at the end of the service; maybe I’ll suggest that at our next staff meeting…

Thanks, Justin. Yeah, it’ a good thing, but when 4 of them take 15 minutes, it hugely impacts the service. Thanks for sharing how you guys do it.
