Another Sunday Another Blooper

As mentioned in Friday’s comments, Sunday at our church was another opportunity for me to embarrass myself. Two weeks ago, while announcing something about chiling and children’s ministry, I told an audience full of parents that we were going to eat their children. Funny.

Last Sunday, when I went to stand up and walk onto the platform, my the antennae wire of my wireless microphone transmitter got stuck in my chair. So there I was squatting for an awkward period of time. It really made the teenagers laugh behind me.

That was one of a few “human moments” in last Sunday’s worship service.

I believe in excellence. I believe in intentional planning. I believe in high expectations. But we’re only human. Sometimes we’ll hit the wrong note, cue the wrong mic, say the wrong thing, or botch the transition. If worship is a performance for the audience’s benefit too many of those and we’d be out of business.

But it’s not. Corporate worship is the work of the people. And people talk about eating children, forget to change the slides, get stuck in chairs, etc. In the midst is God. And, if you joined us this past Sunday, you would have difficulty denying the Spirit of God was there.
