This sunday is the first of British Summer holidays – amateur hour on the worship scene. I've got my mandolin and I'm ready to rock!

our pastor was on vacation too, so our anything goes 4th of july sunday featured:

- a sacred dance team with costumes and swirling ribbons

- a patriotic meddly by the choir that featured every song to ever incorporate the word "America"

- a man from the congretation filling in as guest pastor

- this same man starting off the sermon by saying "the pastor gave me a topic to speak on, but i feel God telling me to change that message right now, so here it goes"

- a sermon linking jonah, billy graham, abraham, david, judas

- and in a particularly bold move, no childrens church.

I posted about our "Anything Goes Sunday" service. It was interesting to say the least!!

I actually thought of this post this morning at church, cause today was our annual post camp youth service, where showing a video of students chugging gallons of milk (and the inevitable projectile vomit) is acceptable, and our youth pastor (My Boss) saying "sucks" from the pulpit multiple times. I loved it, then thought to myself, this is the anything goes service, and bam, this is the post I see tonight.

dude, I am amused at this cuz even though I already read it the first time around…..

but today I saw amazing DBVS (but today it was DAVS) at my church….granted today was our first sunday of our pulpit exchange……so we had a reception welcoming our new Scottish pastor to Florida with a lotta food…and a lotta American flags…..

In our contemporary service, whish was reduced to about half strength, we had new band members that didn't know what they were doing, so we had much off key and off time singing….

to top it all off, we had, instead of a recorded sermon from our new Scottish pastor, we had a video about his town/church/life….and he proceeded to sing songs while he was kayaking….he called himself "the singing kayaker"

yup……hopefully we'll be back to normal next week

many times you have brought a little tear of joy to my eye – especially as a pastor's wife coming off that sunday mornin' high on a sunday afternoon. this is one of my favorite posts. ever. we're planting a church in toronto next summer – you have an open invitation to bring your pop & lock show to us. it's what victoria day has been missing. i'l have the skittles ready, guarded by our worship eagle.

SKITTLES! I keep wanting our church to take on this particular suggestion, but at the moment only the sound guy seems to have caught on. He brings enough to feed the masses most weeks. Even if we do eat them rather sedately…there is no candy rain. Sadly.

Hey, you know about ANZAC day? You did your research man. Us antipodeans love to think we get noticed by y'all on the other side of the world
