Labor Day Church

I’m running sound for church tomorrow. Things should be fine, but a lot of the regulars are out of town (hence my running sound). Because Labor Day has become the “last chance for Summer” holiday, we historically have one of the lowest attendance days of the year. The past few years, we have switched to a single service for this weekend.
One nice feature of this is that I get to run sound while Jacob, my youngest son, is playing bass guitar for the first time. I’d like to take credit for his talent, but I think guitar skills skip a generation. He does a very commendable job of getting the notes right, the rhythms nailed, and throwing in a few “fancy bits” for effect.
We won’t be having Sunday School this week, but I will still be able to look up a few of the incoming 5th graders to frighten. Mike (my co-teacher) and I have a reputation of being a little scary, but it’s mostly just a show.
