The Worship Lab

05 | From Setlist to Response: Designing Sunday Services for Encounter

Rockharbor Church

What really goes into crafting a Sunday service that’s both Spirit-led and intentionally planned?

In this episode of The Worship Lab, we go behind the scenes to talk about Sunday service flow and how we hold space for the Holy Spirit while also planning with purpose. Whether you're a worship leader, production volunteer, or someone who just loves to gather with the Church each week, this conversation will help you step into Sunday with deeper understanding and greater expectation.

We talk through:

  • The journey of a worship set: why flow and structure matter
  • How spontaneity and planning aren’t opposites
  • Tools we use to stay in sync while staying sensitive to the Spirit
  • The value of team discernment in hearing God together
  • What response time means for formation, not just production

From set lists and sermon circles, to whispered prompts and lyric cues, this is a look at how we practice the presence of God in the details—trusting that the Spirit is active in both our planning and our pivoting.
