I have been asked to chair the Worship cog. This is a role that has belonged very firmly to the vicar for the last 7 years (that is as long as it has existed). Me!? I'm not at all musical, why ask me? Well who knows, at least I won't be on one 'side' or the other. It was a difficult question to hear, and I prayed hard that night. In the morning I considered it again, not so much from the 'me' angle, but more from the 'role' angle. As I'm in training to be a reader I ought to be prepared to take on new jobs, and take a lead on things – even things that I don't have any natural talent for at all. That's the music part. Of course I DO worship, as does everyone else, and I do know when it lifts me up, and when it doesn't. It will also help me in my quest to better understand what leading a service is all about. I've done it, but when it comes to the planning I always struggle with the aims (the first bit of the planning process, without which you can achieve something that is probably not what you wanted). Anyway after a long chat with Paul, it seems that there's a whole lot more to it, like the rotas, and all, and thinking longer term about the summer series, and perhaps even Christmas if its a long interregnum.
