Heh. I spent four hours today buying loose leaf notebooks, folders, and other sorts of supplies, splitting them up among the Sunday School teaachers, and then organizing the curriculum grade by grade. I’m so tired I’d gladly skip church tomorrow, but I meeting with said Sunday School teachers right after the service, to conduct teacher training and orientation.

I hope I stay awake during the sermon.

Sorry, I got carried away with generalizations…again. I figured you had an honorable intent with the projector. I’m not a technophobe; I never meant to imply that things like projectors don’t have their place…I just…ok, shutting up.

Projectors are great, I love to use them to introduce the baptists I pastor to the concept of liturgy (they think they don’t have any…sigh). I also use it to illustrate the sermon – which means I have to spend less time illustrating points. It’s helpful.

But if the thing blows up (and, actually, that did happen to us once) I deliberately prep worship so that we don’t skip a beat.

Now if my liturgical introductions can just be used by the Spirit to make people long to celebrate the Eucharist every time we gather for worship I’d be very happy…

I use the projector for our liturgy at the traditional service, including the scripture for the sermon. No movies, etc.

I wouldn’t go too hard on it. It’s in a good cause.

There really isn’t that much difference: your projector is simply a Protestant sacramental.

That made me laugh out loud, Michael.

But, really, aren’t both those things actions of love? We need each other.

The reason I always prefered small churches (and now a small meeting) is because of the absence of bells and whistles. When I lived in Richmond, I went to a church where the worship team was one guy with a guitar. But, it right from his heart. Therefore, it was beautiful. Also, it feels like it matters whether or not I show up.
