Worship Set List – March 30, ‘08: Djembe, New original song, Simplify
Posted by Rich Kirkpatrick in Worship Leading, Worship Set Lists
This week was another awesome worship Sunday at Sunridge Community Church. Our new sermon series entitled “Simplify” began today. What a great concept: Greg Sidders uses the six statements that Jesus made about discipleship to help unclutter your walk with Christ. This is going to be a memorable six weeks for our church.
We did part of our service “unplugged” using a djembe for the first time since I came to SoCal. Kyle, our screaming drummer, actually plays it quite well. The idea was to “simplify” our sound right after Greg gave a synopsis of the series in front of the service.
We debuted an original worship song of mine, “This Sacred Place” and I think it was successful. I wrote this just a few weeks ago, and got good feedback about it from some worship publishing execs and friends at EMI’s www.worshiptogether.com while at a special songwriting session back in February’s re:create conference. (I hope to get a demo made soon.) **I added the video and chord chart in this post here.
Here was the music we did today:
- All To You – Lincoln Brewster
- Everyday – Joel Houston
- Heart of Worship – Matt Redman
- This Sacred Place – Rich Kirkpatrick
- My Savior My God – Aaron Shust
How was your worship weekend?

a demo would be awesome! I haven’t heard any of your original stuff.
I think someone plays everyday.. everyday.
Yo Rich! We had a good worship time this morning. Looking forward to a day when I get the guts to roll out an original! Would love to hear the tune sometime. Here’s the link to our worship time: http://babulife.blogs.com/weblog/2008/03/worship-confe-4.html
Later!

Unplugged can work SO well. Please post a demo soon…
Just wrote about it. Went really well I think. Nothing but positive feedback so far.
I like Shust’s song for a congregational song. Nice pick.
I would LOVE to hear the song…I love your original stuff, man. I used a cello, flute, one other singer, and some loops yesterday – I thought it was one of the most musical services we have done in a long time…I love simple.
