I don't think there's ever been a pic on a blog that actually made my stomach flip around. Until today. :) FEELING your pain, my friend. Did the scaled back thing last week for this very reason and TOTALLY loved it and now am TOTALLY wondering why we ever scaled 'up'. You're going to have an amazing worship weekend. aaahhhhhggggghhhhh!!!!

Especially when there are events. We have a mission trip coming up, which will effectively leave us with two people the first Sunday in August. (Can anyone say "acoustic set?") We can switch around a bit, but basically have one guitar player and one real piano player full time. Being a small church, this gets to be an issue for us from time to time.

We cut back to three services because so many people are away, many of them for at least a month, if not two months. I am in England for the month of July, and only have one experienced worship leader to cover for me, and she can only do two weeks out of the four. I have no piano players, no drummers and no sound guys. I have three people who have volunteered to run Media Shout, but who have never done it before, and have just recruited two more acoustic guitarists as my worship leader doesn't play an instrument. There are three other people who have said they will lead, but none of them have ever done it before - it's quite a gig for an untested worship leader, several hundred people per service in 100 degree heat with humidity. Still, God is in control, and the "crisis" is bringing some talented people out of the woodwork :-) I too could do with a cheaper version of Planning Centre Online as normally we have over 30 people involved in worship teams... Hope you're taking a break this year? Fred, mate, you don’t even want to know what it’s like here.

We're looking for something, but "the boys" (board) say this is too expensive. Anyone? Maybe even a script that we can run on our own host?? Lemme know. Thanks!
