Hark the Gerald

A WEEKLY WORD FROM THE REV.

What does your worship say about you?

Of course, if you have not been blessed with the blessing of the charismatic blessing, then your body language doesn't say anything, except, "Well, I'm standing here in church". For the rest of you however, here is the first installment of Rev. Gerald's guide to worship positions.

1. The Classic

Fervent and joyful without being too scarey. Appropriate for both brothers and sisters.

2. The Invisible Football Scarf

Power praise. Says "Jesus is my rock... concert". We will, we will rock you, Lord. Definitely one for the brothers.

3. The Single-hander

Praisidential, but restrained. Says "I'm saving myself for the chorus."
Could easily become a wave.

4. The Receiving

Mmmm. Humble, reverent, meek, prayerful. For all, but particularly appropriate for the sisters. A joy and encouragement to behold - if one weren't entirely absorbed in hymnological devotion oneself.

5. The Halfway Up

Cross between the classic and the receiving. Could go either way.

More charismatic body language in part two.
