I’m an old Assembly of God, and married a Methodist. World of difference in the 2 churches. Dean is uncomfortable with the freer flowing AG services.
Some people like regimented services. I for one don’t. It does not allow the Holy Spirit in to do his work.
Our old church closed as there were only an handful of OLD geezers who could not keep or afford a church built for 400.
This new church is no better, dry and boring about 65, mixed races.
They mention the Holy Spirit, but they do NOTING to invite him in. And he does NOT come in where he is NOT invited. I’d scare them out of their draws if I began to speak in tongues. But it takes the music to set the stage for me to do so.
You can FEEL if the HS is there in a church, don’t ask me how I know, but I do know.
They chase off the young adults because the services are dry as dust.
Yes the people are good people and do many good works, but many might be feeling the same thing we are, but are to scared to speak up and rock the boat.
Our preacher asked us what we would like to see change, and you know me...I said more lively music...well I haven’t seen any yet. How can you drag I’ll Fly Away into a monotone songs. As for changing preachers it’s easier, than changing all the people sleeping through a boring sermon. He’s a kind man, just BORING as a speaker.
We had the preacher in training this Sunday, and a world of difference in the 2. I’ll take Robert any day of the week over the official preacher.
The Unclouded Day (as it should be sung)

You are quite a gal, Gail. They need to put you in charge...LOL! While I was listening to your music, I listened to others while there. Brenda Lee with Martina McBride sang that same song plus others songs.
I have a lot to do today so I will get busy. I can tell how great you are feeling and thats terrific! You’re strong and brave!
