Update time!
So I started to attend a new church, and regularly. This is the third Sunday in a row I've gone (the previous record was like once in a row).
It's urban, gay affirming, pretty large and uses projector screens for following along. There's a lot of people my age (20-30) in the choir. By my second visit everyone knew my name.
Here's the streetview:
complaints, dissatisfaction, to do or not to do. What would you like your 60 minutes in church to be like from start to finish.?
...church."
This was the tag line on an EBay commercial that I saw last night advertising buying from EBay for your Christmas gifts. The 20-something man was trying to convince those in the older demographic to stop making handmade gifts because no one likes them anyway...
I am normally a rather efficient person. I can juggle multiple items, deliver to multiple areas, and just provide reasonable stuff. I am reasonably responsive to emails.
The last few months, in fact, since August have been a struggle at work. Without going into specifics this is about a -million dollar project that is out of control and is now a multimillion dollar project.
If anyone has the occasion to work in a church or just hang out in a church, food is always available. if there is a meeting - there is food. If there is any kind of gathering - there is food. There is coffee and something after church. There are pot lucks and other hosted meals. There is something to eat - always- in the church fridge.
What is our preoccupation with food?
If you look around a Presbytery and Conference Annual Meeting, there are many overweight folk. Is this because of the availability of food in the church?
Ok, I have never blogged...but lately I've just had many things going through my mind, just like many people I suppose...I'm not sure who reads these, if it's for the reader, for the writer or both...but here goes...

A church staff once described Worship to me as Theatre.For one hour, we ( staff) perform. We sing ( as in concert performing), we use symbols ( to visually enhance the service.)
Churches that flourish are the ones who have good theatre skills. The ones that don't would be given a 2 or 3 on the 1 - 10 scale.
I would hope that church is more than this. What do you think?
