Lazy Sunday Afternoon
Posted by Blake | Posted in Stuff | Posted on 25-05-2008
For the summer The Orchard here in Oxford is moving to one Sunday service only. This is for a few different reasons, and was a difficult decision. And one that raised the next question of if we’re only going to have one service, then do we have an evening service or a morning. We settled on the morning service. And you know what that means, right?
That means that for the first time in the last eleven years of my life I do not have church responsibilities on Sunday evenings. I can’t wrap my mind around it yet, but today is the first one of the summer. So now I might go swimming or take a late afternoon nap, or go out to eat, or rent a movie or a host of other things.
But as much as I look forward to some Sunday evenings off, I think I may already be looking forward to some fall Sunday nights with people walking across the parking lot and through the doors of The Powerhouse for church.
I know pastors too who experience a big energy drain after a Sunday. But nearly all of those guys are preparing sermons on a weekly basis and preaching at multiple services each weekend. That's not as common for me.
