Friday Night Concert


Tonight (Friday) we went to a 4-hour long praise and worship program that Er!c and a few other musicians were participating in.

The program (organized by Grace In Action) was supposed to start at 6:00 so we all arrived at 5:00 to set up and do a quick sound check before people started arriving. By 6:15 only a handful of people were filling seats, so we decided to go ahead and start the program anyway. The band played for about 15 minutes followed by several lengthy testimonials and another 45 minutes of music from the regular church band/worship group. Then came the offering and two sermons from the two visiting guest pastors...

Keep in mind that we went to this event straight from work and hadn't eaten supper yet.

After the sermons were over our band took the stage once again and did one more musical number with the same small handful of guests in the audience (the program participants actually outnumbered the audience members).

We rolled back into our driveway right at 10:00, tired and very hungry.
