Yeah, I like the more traditional services as well. Our church is pretty traditional, although our song leader likes to sneak in a chorus every now and then. I had one man in our congregation say that he had come from a church that sang a bunch of 7-11 songs. You sing 7 words and then repeat them 11 times. ;^)
A person can get lost in the church though...it's so huge. You have to find your nich. Ours is the homeschool group, of course. About 200 people, including the kids. You may recall I went to our banquet a while back?
Our church runs about 300 on a Sunday am, but only around 50 on a Wednesday night prayer meeting. My pastor is particularly burdened about that right now.
Does your church have its own school? I would like to see our church start a school for the church kids.
Update:
Gandalf came back from slumming with the Balrog. Gimli almost had Legolas convinced to turn Gandalf into a pincushion.
All is well now, Gandalf let them know that Merry & Pippen were alright and now they are headed to the Golden Hall.
