Yesterday there was no sermon. Instead we had Stump the Preacher. LAst time we did this there were around 8 questions in teh box so it worked well.
Yesterday there were 2. And only one of those was a church-y question. So I dealt with it a bit and then asked for questions from the congregation (got one). Then I talked about a question that came up during STudy Group on Thursday. ANd then I wrapped it up for a shorter service all told. Which actually worked out well since the brunch was ready to go by then.
what a neat idea! sorry it didn't go as swimmingly as the last time. but... yes... i don't think folks would complain about a shortened service on mother's day- or is it not mother's day in canada?
ReplyDeletei'm tempted to try this at our church... i actually love spontaneously fielding questions. not sure though how folks would respond....
