Songs for Feb 24th

Hey guys! One more week till Emerge has talent!! Going to be an exciting time to say the least! It was great giving you guys a week off last week and have The Anthem come in and lead us in worship! Hopefully you are all well rested up and ready to get back on stage.

You guys are all doing a great job, but lets not forget to practice. Even if it is a song we have played a thousand times, there are always way to make it better. This doesn't always mean adding really hard parts, crazy vocal melodies, or face-melting solos. A lot of times, this is just cleaning up a part we always mess up (I know I still have a TON!), maybe adding a different harmony, or just focusing on what the song means. Remember, God isn't pleased or impressed by an amazing show or hitting a really high note or blowing someone's mind with a mean solo.

True worship is when we focus on God. We honor him by using the talents he gave us to bring glory to his name. When our heart is right, the worship we bring will move God's heart.

In short: CHECK YOUR MOTIVES!!!

Are you doing this because you like to sing, because you want to look cool and be on stage, because you want people to notice how good you are, because you wanna impress all the ladies (or guys) with your sweet melodies.......

or are you doing this to bring glory to God, to honor him, to cry out to him,

to worship Him

Here are the songs for this wednesday:

Love you guys

Songs for Feb 10th

Hey everyone! Sorry for all the changes, but we really re-thought and prayed about how we want this set. I know I gave you the music for different songs, but luckily most of you guys know these songs already so shouldn't be too hard to practice from ear.

I know I say this every week, but guys, please be practicing at home. Even if you are just singing, work hard on these things. God has blessed us with these talents so let's not waste them or take them for granted. Come ready at 5pm, sharp! Please be here on time, we have been getting a later and later start every week!

Here are the new songs

Let me know if you have any problems

Songs for Wednesday. First wed of FEB!

Hey guys! Hope you all are doing great! Looking forward to playing with you guys again! Feels like it's been a lot longer than just a week. Just a reminder, PLEASE practice and LEARN these songs BEFORE you get to Emerge on Wednesday! It will help so much. Not only with practice and playing worship, but it will help create a better environment for worship.

If you practice and know your parts, you aren't going to be in a staring contest with your music (note: you can never win that one, trust me!). This means that you will be able to focus less on your playing and focus more on God. That's why it's so important to learn these songs, even if you feel like you have played them already.

I love all of you guys so much!! I excited for all the great people on the team and the amazing things God has planned for all of us!

Here are the songs for wednesday!
