Cool Sunday

Sunday we had a cool service. It was about noise in our culture and lives. Church started quiet, then added one quiet movie on the big screen. Then one by one various TVs, video games, and music players (that were arranged in the front) came on, until it got really noisy and overwhelming. My husband's comment was that it was like performance art. It was a very good portrayal of how the clutter (noise, visual clutter, too busy of a schedule) can get overwhelming and make it hard for us to hear God or be able to be still before Him.

We also had communion. It was different from our usual. We got these little white drawstring fabric bags that contained an organic cracker and a vial of grape juice. It was a cool way to go about it.
