This past Sunday was our Grand Re-Opening of our Reno Church Building. Its been under construction for the past 4 months, so it was really humbling to be able to dedicate our church to Jesus and to serving the city of Reno.
So this week at our Reno Location, we hosted an outdoor service at Wingfield Park in downtown Reno. The coolest part about it was that over 50 people were baptized that day in the Truckee River.
Because of the evangelistic push on the message and the lack of projector for the lyrics, we were highly intentional about picking songs we knew our congregation was the most familiar with. Overall, definitely a day for the books.
I have received requests regularly about what songs we play on Sundays. I'll do my best to post set-lists here. This week here at the Reno location of Living Stones, Zimmerman introduced a new song to our congregation, Future/Past by John Mark McMillan (you can watch it here).
Grace Greater - Zimmerman - (available on our new record this fall)
We're halfway through the Lead The Church event here in Reno. It's been incredible to hang with with leaders from all over the United States and hear about what they are doing in the trenches. Here's the songs we have played and are playing for the event.

"One Pure and Holy Passion"
written by Mark Altrogge
recorded by Candi Pearson on the "Passion One Day LIVE" CD
Lyrics:
Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me on magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You
To know and follow hard after you
To grow as your disciple in your truth
This world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared to knowing you, my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after you
Lead me on and I will run after you
