Constantly blending the formula

Last week, church was different. Not crazy, untamed different, but unusual compared to the regular Sunday offering.

Should church be different every week?

I wonder...
I wonder because I'm not a huge fan of gimicked church services.
I wonder because I like knowing what to expect.
I wonder because I would hate inviting someone to church by saying "I don't know what to assume. It could look like ANYTHING..."

I'm not advocating copy/paste church services and structures until the end of time. Churches should be a place of creativity and open to alternative forms of expression.

But I can't shake the feeling that church should be about connecting with God, not bells, whistles and flashing lights.
