Not only is it good to think about the current season of what God’s doing in your church, but also to strategically find songs that emphasize important truths throughout the year. Don’t just pick what’s popular. Pick what will magnify the glory of God in people’s hearts and minds.
Maybe you need opening songs that are simple and more light-hearted to help people ease into the morning. Maybe you need more songs of confession. Maybe you need more calls to worship.
Pray through where God has you and outline each set list the next eight weeks.
Don’t necessarily commit to all these songs in Planning Center yet. This can actually be a valuable touch point to have with your lead pastor about the upcoming worship song diet of your church. Get his input. Anticipate upcoming weekends and what songs would work best with service flows.
Compile them in a Google Doc. This is a very practical way to move Beyond Sunday in your planning. You’re not just maintaining songs one weekend at a time. You’re looking at the big picture.
