We ate dinner beforehand with friends so were sitting right up front under his nose just about. That was quite an experience. For a guy in his 70's he can still put on quite a show. I think you're on to something with tables in the sanctuary (can I use that word?). One could argue it's about as bibilical as you can get if you want to get technical about worship. Think of it, big meals together; no rushing around Sun. morning trying to get the kids fed; sharing the LS together (as long as no one's getting drunk); having the band playing right before you while you enjoy your latte......the list goes one only concert I ever saw at the Birchmere was Ralph Stanley.

That's bound to be unscriptural.............. And besides, it gives me a feeling of sibkbri in the pit of my stomach.......just like being seated in a classroom with the chairs in a circle! Chuckles!

In those days we had to sacrifice for our music. Now you kids have your fancy tables with tablecloths and soft napkins, and fancy dinner food, and comfortable chairs at the NEW Birchmere. Oh, and what about that stage you love with the cool backdrop with a musician who could sing AND play AND was prepared AND gave his best. OLD Birchmere was crap and we knew it and we still went and we were thankful to get crap. Of course, I remember going to the OLD Birchmere. In those days we had to sacrifice for our music.

I would love to see the pews go away and allow a more intimate setting where we were actually facing each other. No pews in heaven. Sounds like a song.

I would love to be able to get rid of our pews for a more multi-purpose type atmosphere. I like the table design.
