Yay for you

We held our "Yay for You" service on Sunday night to celebrate the end of an eight week leadership training course for young leaders in our town. We put together a worship team of people who had never played together before - utter madness.
We didn't have enough worship time either.
But friends and supporters were a gracious audience, and they all had enough experience in their own patch to know how to follow directions and pick up if they happened to get lost. And God is very gracious.
It was high energy stuff, and yet we only pulled together a couple of brackets of three. Our usual Sunday service is just so staid by comparison, even using the same songs. Partly having a different keyboard player helped, and having a bass player, even one as shonky as me was useful.
But overall, the service illustrated for me just how different the expectations and experience of contemporary worship is.
