Went to Palm Sunday service in Greenville.  Nice church and congregation.  Felt like I had stepped back 50 years.  Never heard that version of the Apostle's creed (even different from the stupid current Catholic version), and the priest had his back to the altar and priests distributed all communion, not silly "ecumenical ministers" handing it out like cheese samples.

Morning, muchachos.

morning RazMan.

you preaching Sunday?

No, #1 son designed an Easter oratorio of sorts. Sitting down with my dad (over scotch and cigars) tonight to tidy up the narratives. Saturday will be a brutal day rehearsing. But it's looking to be a pretty cool Easter service.

sounds like a nice family holiday.

Kinda the family bidness. Doesn't make any money, but keeps us out of trouble...mostly.

Now if more  ministers prepared that way, I think services would be a lot more interesting.

Well, I don't know about more interesting, but certainly less artificial.

Honest, thought out and with personal touch is always more interesting.

....but I guess those issues would only mean something to Catholics....

As a Worship Arts director at a church that makes a priority of being "intergenerational," it's a constant struggle to hit the right balance and tone, to find ways to inspire people with different priorities. Interestingly, it's the Millennials who want church to be more liturgical and formal, and the Boomers who want it to be casual. Really weird when the old people call the young people "square."

nothing better than a three day Pentecostal Tent Revival to get the spirit flowing.

Sounds like an easy choice to me.

Oh, we try and get a little fire and brimstone happening on a regular basis.  Plenty of "repent sinner" without the condemnation to hell bit, since that's God's decision, not ours. ;-)
