What are the traditional pentecostal campmeeting songs? I am sure I'll know them when I hear them but I can't think of the songs you are referring to right now...
As far the choreography goes.....I'm not sure I care for it too much...Especially during service. I think I would be more comfy with it during a talent show or something like that, but it doesn't seem like worship to me...But then again, I've only seen it a few times and that was just the feeling I got from it. It seemed more like "entertainment" for the crowd. I don't have a problem entertainment....just not during a service.
I can see the "pep rally" part. I think at most campmeetings you will find that "super charged" atmosphere... it's alright as long as people walk away with substance from the Word of God and not just a high that will eventual drop....
NO ORGAN?  what's up with that?  |
The same choir later came back up to sing two more songs before the preaching. There was this lady that sang a solo with a soundtrak also.
When I say campmeeting songs, I mean songs out of the "Pentecostal Praises" songbook. There was no "Pentecostal Fire is Falling", "Come and Dine", etc. No "How Great Thou Art" or "To God be the Glory".
They had an organ playing, but you couldn't hear it! The guitars and drums were drowning it out!

OK, sorry Piano-person, but you just seriously dated yourself!! I have attended Camp Meeting in one of the most conservative districts around for years now, and I don't even remember when any of those songs were last sung!!

I guess my preference would be the old school style. I don't have a problem with these newer songs...they have some nice lyrics...but they just don't do it for me. Not saying I can't worship to these songs......It's just that it seems that I am looking for more "anointing" than nice lyrics...

It's quickly becoming Old School in the UPC and has been
for quite some time in the Assembly of God and charismatic/XUPC
churches.
Many UPC churches have adopted the Rick warran Joel Osteen
style worship and music

4. I wasn't familiar with ANY of the songs that were sung. Missing were all of the traditional Pentecostal campmeeting songs! It's obvious that the youth are being served, which I think is great!

I didn't get to go Friday night, but I DID feel the same way on Thursday evening. This must be how our elderly saints feel in a regular church service when we keep singing new choruses. But one thing my husband (worship leader) does to remedy the situation is to throw in a classic at the end of one of the new songs. For example, we do "You Are Great" and go into "How Great Thou Art". It helps everyone feel a part of that portion of the service.
I will say, though, that the girl leading worship Thursday night did an unfamiliar song, then went into "He Has Done Great Things". Yay...I got to participate in one song!

Re: TN campmeeting
Christ Church Nashville sings one "hymn" as part of our normal Sunday Service content. Years ago when I took the "Welcome To CC" class Pastor Hardwick at one point asked the class if anybody knew why they did that. I raised my hand and answered "for the old geezers!". He laughed and said I was correct.
I like it when it is a powerful, timeless classic hymn like The Old Rugged Cross or Amazing Grace but over half the time Landy Gardner pulls some Baptist or Methodist hymn I have never heard of that is just horrible.
