Well, I dunno 2J. If your church is one that is not demonstrative like mine I can see the logic of using a hymnal. There has to be a place for all of us Christians to celebrate and worship God in the *best* manner for us.
But, if this is the church where you are... and the decision has been made... and you can't change it ... then maybe you just need to worship as best you can. I guess I'm saying - don't let the issue come between you and your time of closeness to God.
And I'm saying that cause sometimes when things tick me off about church, I find that instead of having my time with God - I'm all off in my head railing about something somebody said or did. And I am the one that loses out cause I miss my time in worship that I love. And I think God misses me too. :-)
You could be Celeste talkin', sis!!! That is exactly what she said. I mean almost word for word.
I've considered approaching the music guy and asking if they couldn't just put the page numbers up on the screen too...that would be great. But really, otherwise, I need to not focus on it...and I try not to during the service...
