It may seem kind of strange to talk about being okay with a routine and church, because there is often the thought that you don't want to really be doing things in worship that are just "routine" or doing things "by rote."
The routine that I'm writing about though is anything close to doing things by rote.
It is the comfort of doing things week after week without things being thrown into chaos because of a pandemic or new restrictions or something like that.
Knowing that we have a Contemplative service at 8am. That is quiet and really gives some time to delve into Scripture a bit. And it usually leaves something else for you to consider long after the service is done.
Knowing that we rehearse some music at 8:45am with a team of musicians who are great to sing with as we sometimes learn new songs or find new ways to sing familiar songs.
Then choir meets to go over the anthem for that day. Which always starts with a lot of fellowship and laughter which then has to be corralled by our fearless leader.
After practicing in the sanctuary, then we get some time to rest before service starts. Sometimes it is a bit of time and sometimes not so much. And now it means being in the room with air conditioning, and that is ALWAYS nice.
And then we have our worship service.
It's a great routine and one I look forward to every Sunday.
