These last few weeks have been very good for my humility and prayer-life. We’ve recently started a new congregation, which meets in the middle of the afternoon.
The congregation is made up of a mixture of people who have moved from the morning and evening meetings, which had become too full. It’s been wonderful seeing how people have been so keen to help prepare food, welcome and serve on all the various teams.
Few musicians
However, on the musical side of things we’re much shorter on numbers. The few musicians who play and sing are superb, and are some of the most servant-hearted people I’ve worked with. The fact that I have a smaller team, and that they have such a healthy attitude of service, has helped restore my focus to what it was when I first started working as a church musician 14 years ago.
