Sunday morning saw the return of the drums to Elim!!! yay!!
After our 4 week period of having a 'stripped down' time of worship, last Sunday morning was back to being a little louder.
We had just drums bass and guitar, but we had such freedom during the worship, and it was awesome to see everyone just going for it, felt like we were back.
In the evening me jason and dad helped out joey, who was leading worship, at St Johns church, Jason was playing electric, for one of the first times in a 'proper' service, but the sounds he was creating were just amazing, really does go to show that it dosnt have to be complicated to be effective.
Monday night the Xalt band led at Kingsland for the final night of the Equipping the levites series, again there was an amazing freedom within the band, and in the 2nd set after the talk there was some unreal moments of ppl just shouting out and dancing and all sorts, an amazing energy was in the room ( i was knackered afterwards!! lol) but every member of the band was totally just lost in worship, in fact i think every1 is the room was. An amazing end to an amazing month....xalt on saturday : )

4th 5th June
Last Monday was the event hosted at Kingsland called Equipping the Levites
Which is basicly a worship training evening for anyone involved in worship, the is one every monday night all this month.
Me and Jason were asked to play, Rob Buckingham was leading.
It seems every time we play at Kingsland there is an incredible freedom during the worship, people were really just giving everything they have. Of course when you get a group of 50 people all involved in worship its gonna be quite special anyway.
One of the things i found most amazing was that there were quite a few drummers there, some from that church, and yet, there i was sitting on thier drum kit. Its something im not really sure even now ive got my head round lol
Its such a humbeling experience looking out and seeing other drummers out there watching you, inc some who i remember watching from when i was 6.
I wouldnt say im a great amazing drummer lol i just seem to have an understanding of what makes good worship music, and letting God flow through that, i guess in a way the talent side of it is not that important, there are several musicians i know who as far as talent goes....well, it dosnt go very far lol but they are so switched on with what Gods doing during a worship set and can feel where the song is going, that its just incredible to be able to work with them.
tuesday was a tad random, ended up going to Lincoln with some of the Kingsland bunch to watch a recording at the NewLife church, some dude called Godfrey!
There was about 200 people in this church and he basicly just said at the beggining, forget the mics, this is just an evening to worship God, i really liked that.
There was a full band on stage, they had clearly done thier homework as far as the songs went, and we hardly needed to repeat anything, however the best bits of the night for me was the inbetween bits of songs.
If he needed to tune up or have a drink or whatever, he would just signal to the keys player, and he would put in an epic pad sound, the elec guitarist had an ebow with him, and the percussionist would be almost knocking on the bongo, was an incredible sound,
then people would just start singing out, the whole idea of singing a new song to the Lord, well there was about 150 new songs written that night lol
I love that the best moments in worship are when we are hardly doing anything.
