Today both the DH and I went to the early service for church, and got our son to go with us.
I normally prefer the 11 o' clock service, which is traditional, with the usual liturgy and also the traditional hymnal hymns. The early service is a "song-and-praise" service with a band, rather than a choir and piano-and-organ. The sermon remains the same for both; today's sermon was on Matthew-the-tax-collector.
Today's service was quite a nice change. The chosen songs had a bit more substance than they usually do, and it was communion Sunday, which always makes the service more meaningful.
I felt quite uplifted and joyful when we left.
Here is one of the songs we had this morning:
