The sequence of events is quite amazing. This month I’ll be doing Senior Call duties in the department. Although it’s scary and a huge responsibilty for me, one advantage is that I get every second weekend off. On thursday I called up Kenny to let him know that I could help out in worship. Kenny said that although he was to lead worship, he was on call and requested me to do it. I agreed. I was on call on Friday, but managed to get exactly one hour when nothing was happening and hence chose a few songs. I had to borrow Deepak’s guitar (A FENDER!). The rest of friday night was busy. I got off work by 2 PM on saturday. As no-one was free to come to practice in the evening, we decided to meet up on Sunday before the service. Gladwin was down with a high fever and only he and Finny could come. I worked out the rest of the songs and late in the night I made the slides for worship. I went in early to church and rigged up the projector, amp and guitars. Finny and Gladwin came in 40 minutes before the service and Hannah also joined us. we did a little of practice but it wasnt too good. To cap things, there was a power cut and my laptop didnt like it. The projector then got overheated and shut off…. duh… that was weird. At the start of the service though, everything was OK. Although the worship had a few musical glitches in a couple of spots it was amazing how God moved and people enjoyed it. The rest of the service was great.
Thank God for the way He moves to put things in place…. showing us that He is in COMPLETE CONTROL!
