I play in one of the several worship bands at church.\u00a0 And, normally the bands play a little prelude before the service.\u00a0 After the prelude, the venue pastor offers a greeting and then we sing 3-4 songs.<\/p>\n
But recently, the church decided to try something different.\u00a0 Instead of a prelude, the church has decided to have a 10 minute timer.\u00a0 This timer is projected on all of the video screens through out the church.<\/p>\n
The idea is that people will look at the screens and know when church is going to start.\u00a0 Then, when they see that the service is about to start, they will enter the venue and sit down.<\/p>\n
But, in reality, it doesn’t work.\u00a0 People are too busy talking to look at the screens.\u00a0 Plus, they are used to entering when they hear the prelude.\u00a0 So, no prelude, no people.<\/p>\n
Some of the venue realize this and play a prelude anyway.<\/p>\n
It will be interesting to see just how long this last before we all go back to playing a prelude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
