First time playing out

Hey so yesterday I went with my friend to his youth group thing to play with their group's band on stage. This was the first time I've playing in front of people i don't know which was cool. All the playing went great (I think) and they asked me to do it again next time. My friend said I can suggest some songs to play but i kinda don't listen to much Christian Rock (although we do get the chord sheets to look at) so I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for songs or other tidbits of knowledge to share. Thanks! (if the instruments matter, there's like 3 acoustic guitars, drums, keys, electric guitar, and bass [obviously])
 
well, you're hooked now lol. The only Christian rock I ever listened to was Stryper and I'm sure they don't want to play that. Concentrate on playing the music until you get more comfortable being on stage, worry about the moves later... it's no good if you're trying to move around and keep screwing up.
