We led worship at a church up in Rochester called Lakeshore Community Church, and they were kind enough to post the videos of the worship set online. I've put them up here for your thoughts - what did we do well, upon what could we improve? Also, it's just cool to finally have a recording of us at a church with HD video technology and a sound board that's plugged into the recording.

A great leap forward from the dirge-like hymns of your average mid-20th century middle America church services.
Nicely done, but you have a ways to go before you generate the kind of enthusiasm and energy of - say -Rev. Green down in Memphis.

Chris, Liz, et. al.:
Nice job. There were a bunch of singers with you! That must be nice. Chris, I loved your opening words and nobody responded - *sigh* - it's always a joy being the first person to actively engage the audience at the early services. Way to have fun with it, though!
Improvements... hmmm... Do you take requests? Skillet - Hero? Okay, that's not really a worship song, but it does rock!
Seriously, excellent job and loved Liz's vocals on Take My Life (at the end of it). That's one of my favorite songs.
Annie - thanks :) We're working on the Rev. Green thing, but unfortunately to have that much energy requires levels of caffeine that may be a violation of FDA regulations ...
Dan - this was actually the last service ;) also, the "late night" comment was sort of an inside joke that didn't seem to go so well because the night before they'd hosted a July 4th fireworks watch and everybody had been out till like, 11 or midnight ...
Wow - Annie, I didn't know you were an aficionado of gospel music! You will have to take us with you to the Ft. Collins Gospel Church the next time we visit! - JSLJR
OK - the jig is up - I really know zero about gospel music. I like to think I know something about being a supportive aunt.
