We often have some kind of technical glitch each Sunday that causes some kind of misscue or other challenge. I often wonder if it's ok to lay hands on an inanimate object and pray for it! Seriously though, we are so dependent on technology to create atmousphere each Sunday. I think that a pre-emptive approach is good though, I know that the Spirit has warned me about equipment that needs to be sorted out ahead of time. It's much easier to troubleshoot something during the week than mid-service! I can relate so closely to this.

I think it’s a valid question and something that we need to take seriously, and I have never seen anyone do that. The point is that when there are technical difficulties, worship may be interrupted, or a whole myriad of other things.

I think I will start praying for our technology, because, as you have pointed out, when it works it is great but when it doesn't things get a little crazy. We work so hard to plan and prepare for our weekend services and something weird like a power outage, tripped data cable, misaligned label printer, etc. can realy sway our outcome. Long live the pen & paper :) Jim,
