He moves in mysterious ways

It all seemed like church was going to go pear shapped last night. I am the music co-ordinator and therefore feel a bit of responsibility (right or wrong) as to how church services actually run. The music team started practice late, the place wasn't setup (or so I thought), there weren't enough singers on the team and the bloke who was coming to speak had to pull out due to sickness at the very last moment.
Myself and Kath filled in for singers (which turned out to be fun), someone had taken the initiative to set up the church, and the service took to a progression of testimonies and sharring time. All in all I think it was a great time. It reminded everyone (or at least me) that the church service was about the body of christ coming and participating in worship - not just people rocking up and being spoonfed by the people up the front. There were some great themes in there about God's sacrifice of Jesus and of the simple faith that people can come to through that. It was really encouraging. God had his own plans for how he wanted the service to go...
It all in the process of a church growing a think, and i think we are starting to do that as a church better than we used to.
