When it comes time for a prayer, we want the person praying to be making their way up when the song is over, or else we begin to panick. We usually have the people participating in worship sit up front so that we don't have to wait for them to walk all the way to the front. I love singing during the passing of the trays. But even that can sometimes take place because we don't want 3-5 minutes of silence while the trays are passed.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, I have invited congregations to be silent before God for 2 minutes during our worship service. I've never seen so many people looking at their watches. <BR/><BR/>Be STILL! <BR/><BR/>-JoshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446705.post-10954088999356366232007-07-09T12:03:00.000-05:002007-07-09T12:03:00.000-05:00I cherish the still and the quiet.But it is sooooo...I cherish the still and the quiet.<BR/><BR/>But it is soooooooo unamerican and counter to our culture, which makes it tough to enjoy the serenity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958802674036850912noreply@blogger.com
